Antibiotic resistance profile in intrahospital pediatric services at third level centers in Dominican Republic

Infectio; 24 (2), 2020
Objectives: The Dominican Republic lacks reliable information on antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which would allow physicians to prescribe the best treatment for common infectious diseases. This study aimed to define the antimicrobial resistance profiles of the more common pathogens from pediatric servi...

Análise do consumo de antimicrobianos e infecções relacionadas à assistência à saúde após implantação de um programa de gestão de antimicrobianos em unidade de tratamento intensivo neonatal do Rio de Janeiro

Justificativa e objetivos. Programas de gestão de antimicrobianos (PGA) podem contribuir para otimizar o uso de antimicrobianos em unidades de tratamento intensivo neonatais (UTINEO). O objetivo deste estudo foi mensurar o consumo de antimicrobianos, dentre eles os carbapenêmicos e infecções relacion...

Molecular characterization of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii strains from a tertiary care center in South India

Infectio; 24 (1), 2020
Objectives: Carbapenem resistantAcinetobacter baumannii is an important therapeutic and infection control challenge worldwide. In this study, we investigated the prevalence and distribution of molecular mechanisms of resistance among carbapenem resistant A. baumannii species at a tertiary care setting i...

Antibacterial activity of Cinnamomum cassia L. essential oil in a carbapenem- and polymyxin-resistant Klebsiella aerogenes strain

Abstract INTRODUCTION: Essential oils can serve as novel sources of antibiotics for multidrug-resistant bacteria. METHODS: The multidrug-resistance profile of a Klebsiella aerogenes strain was assessed by PCR and sequencing. The antibacterial activity of Cinnamomum cassia essential oil (CCeo) against...

Carbapenem stewardship with ertapenem and antimicrobial resistance-a scoping review

Abstract Consumption of carbapenem has increased due to extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing bacteria spreading. Ertapenem has been suggested as a not carbapenem-resistance inducer. We performed a scoping review of carbapenem-sparing stewardship with ertapenem and its impact on the antibiotic resis...

Factores de riesgo asociados a infecciones del tracto urinario por gérmenes productores de betalactamasas de espectro extendido
Risk factors associated with urinary tract infections by spectrum betalactamase producing germs extended

Med. interna (Caracas); 36 (4), 2020
El tratamiento de las infecciones del tracto urinario requiere la constante actualización de la susceptibilidad in vitro de los gérmenes de la zona o institución que permita orientar la elección apropiada del tratamiento empírico. Objetivo: Identificar los factores de riesgo asociados a infecciones ...

Carbapenemasas y sensibilidad a los antibióticos no β-lactámicos en Klebsiella pneumoniae resistente a los carbapenémicos en un hospital de tercer nivel de complejidad. Quito – Ecuador
Carbapenemases and sensitivity to non-β-lactam antibiotics in Klebsiella pneumoniae resistant to carbapenems in a third level hospital. Quito - Ecuador

Cambios rev. méd; 18 (2), 2019
INTRODUCCIÓN. La resistencia de Klebsiella pneumoniae a carbapenémicos ha aumentado con los años, reduciendo opciones terapéuticas. Puede deberse a dos mecanismos principales, como: la producción de carbapenemasas y alteración de la permeabilidad de la membrana. OBJETIVO. Ana...

Métodos: Estudo descritivo, transversal e prospectivo, realizado nos meses de outubro e novembro de 2018, em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva adulto de...

Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae: A diagnostic, epidemiological and therapeutic challenge

Infectio; 23 (4), 2019
The global spread of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) has become a public health problem. Not all CPE are resistant to carbapenems creating a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Furthermore, as resistance to carbapenems can also be mediated by other β-lactamases combined with defec...

Epidemiología molecular de aislados de Acinetobacter baumannii resistentes a carbapenems en Argentina

Rev. argent. microbiol; 51 (3), 2019
Se estudiaron 100 aislados consecutivos y no epidemiológicamente relacionados de Acinetobacter baumannii resistentes a los carbapenems, recuperados entre enero y agosto de 2016 de muestras clínicas en 11 hospitales de 10 provincias de la Argentina, ubicadas en distintas regiones del país. Los genes qu...
