Determining the Risk of Antimicrobial Resistance in Common Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative Pathogens After Antibiotic Exposure
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background. Antibiotic exposure is known to increase the risk of selecting for an antibiotic resistant organism. However, there is limited data describing temporal relationship between antibiotic exposure and selection of resistant organisms in patients rehospitalized for the same infection. The purpose of this study is to elucidate which combinations of organisms and antibiotics are most likely to select for resistance by quantifying antibiotic exposure and timelines in common Gram-positive and Gram

Background Septicemia is a life-threatening condition particularly among pediatric population. Early initiating a proper empiric antimicrobial treatment prior to definite isolation of the pathogen through blood culture has pivotal role in reducing further mortality and morbidity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the epidemiological properties of a distinct Iranian population by patients’ a...
