Selective decontamination and antibiotic resistance in ICUs
Selective digestive decontamination (SDD) and selective oropharyngeal decontamination (SOD) have been associated with reduced mortality and lower ICU-acquired bacteremia and ventilator-associated pneumonia rates in areas with low levels of antibiotic resistance. However, the effect of selective decontamination (SDD/SOD) in areas where multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria are endemic is le...

In this study antibiotic resistance of enterococcus in hospitalized patients of four hospitals in Tehran were studied. Material and Methods: the Clinical samples were taken from patients admitted to the ICU, fro...
متن کاملSelective digestive decontamination is superior to selective oropharyngeal decontamination
are interested in the debate on the effi cacy and safety of selective digestive decontamination (SDD) and selective oropharyngeal decontamination (SOD) raised by Schultz and Haas in their review [1]. Th e authors concluded that 'SDD and SOD are equally eff ective with respect to the prevention of mortality' [1]. Th is statement is based on the results of a Dutch randomized controlled trial [2],...
متن کاملReply to “Selective Digestive Tract Decontamination and Spread of Colistin Resistance: Antibiotic Prophylaxis Is Not a Substitute for Hygiene”
We thank Krueger and colleagues for their critical comments (1). We fully agree that selective digestive tract decontamination (SDD) is not a substitute for good infection control, especially hand hygiene. With respect to their argument that our findings are in sharp contrast to what is known so far about the effect of SDD on the risk of acquisition of colistin-resistant bacteria, we feel diffe...
