BACKGROUND Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a severe infection, with high mortality. Antibiotic strategies for CAP differ across Europe. The objective of the study was to describe the epidemiology of CAP in Denmark and evaluate the prognosis of patients empirically treated with penicillin-G/V monotherapy. METHODS Retrospective cohort study including hospitalized patients with x-ray confi...

BACKGROUND Since delayed diagnosis and treatment of bacterial meningitis worsens patient prognosis, clinicians have a low threshold to perform a lumbar puncture or to start empiric antibiotic treatment in patients suspected of having meningitis. OBJECTIVE To develop a decision rule, including cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) indices and clinical characteristics, to determine whether empiric antibiot...

Fungal bloodstream infections are associated with significant patient mortality and health care costs. Nevertheless, the relationship between a delay of the initial empiric antifungal treatment until blood culture results are known and the clinical outcome is not well established. A retrospective cohort analysis with automated patient medical records and the pharmacy database at Barnes-Jewish H...

Increasing antibiotic resistance makes choosing antibiotics for suspected Gram-negative infection challenging. This study set out to identify key determinants of mortality among patients with Gram-negative bacteraemia, focusing particularly on the importance of appropriate empiric antibiotic treatment. We conducted a prospective observational study of 679 unselected adults with Gram-negative ba...

1. Evaluate the risk factors for gram-negative nosocomial infection and antimicrobial resistance for patients in the intensive care unit. 2. Apply your understanding of the mechanisms of resistance common to gram-negative bacteria in nosocomial disease, including extended-spectrum β-lactamase production, porin channel deletion or structural changes, and efflux pump expression, to empiric antibi...

BACKGROUND Previous studies indicate that vancomycin is inferior to beta-lactams for treatment of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) bloodstream infections. However, it is unclear if this association is true for empiric and definitive therapy. Here, we compared beta-lactams with vancomycin for empiric and definitive therapy of MSSA bloodstream infections among patients admitte...
