Antimicrobial Resistance among Gram-negative Bacilli

Antimicrobial Resistance in Gram-negative Bacilli Isolated from Urinary Tracts Infections

Prevalence and Antibiotic Resistance Pattern of Extended Spectrum β-Lactamase- (ESBL-) Producing Gram Negative Bacilli isolated from Clinical Samples of hospitalized Patients in a hospital in Gorgan

Background & Aim: Antibiotic resistance among gram-negative bacilli is currently one of the major challenges for the health system in developing countries. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency and antibiotic resistance pattern of common ESBL-producing gram negative bacilli isolated from clinical specimens of hospitalized patients in Falsafi Hospital in Gorgan. Methods: In this ...

Antimicrobial resistance pattern of Gram-negative bacilli isolated from patients at ICUs of Army hospitals in Iran

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Patients at intensive-care-unit (ICU) are at risk of acquiring nosocomial infections which contributes to higher rates. Approximately 25% of all hospital infections and 90% of outbreaks occur in ICUs. Multi- resistant gram-negative rods are important pathogens in ICUs, causing high rate of mortality. The purpose of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial resist...

Background: The object of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial resistance pattern among common nosocomial Gram-negative bacilli isolated from patients with nosocomial infections.Methods: From June 2004 to December 2005, 380 isolates of common Gram-negative bacilli (Klebsiella, Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter and E. coli) from 270 patients with nosocomial infections in Sina and Imam Hospit...

Antibiotic resistance among gram-negative bacilli in US intensive care units: implications for fluoroquinolone use.

CONTEXT Previous surveillance studies have documented increasing rates of antimicrobial resistance in US intensive care units (ICUs) in the early 1990s. OBJECTIVES To assess national rates of antimicrobial resistance among gram-negative aerobic isolates recovered from ICU patients and to compare these rates to antimicrobial use. DESIGN AND SETTING Participating institutions, representing a ...
