Coagulase-negative staphylococcal peritonitis: outcomes of cephalosporin-resistant strains.
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) peritonitis and subsequent relapses are undesirable complications for patients requiring home peritoneal dialysis. Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) remain a common cause of peritonitis. Strains of CoNS are emerging that are resistant to cephalosporins. It has been suggested that, if sensitivity testing shows resistance to cephalosporin but the patient is improvin...
متن کاملCoagulase-negative staphylococcal peritonitis in Australian peritoneal dialysis patients: predictors, treatment and outcomes in 936 cases.
BACKGROUND Coagulase-negative staphylococcal (CNS) peritonitis is the most common cause of peritoneal dialysis (PD)-associated peritonitis. Previous reports of this important condition have been sparse and generally limited to single-centre studies. METHODS The frequency, predictors, treatment and clinical outcomes of CNS peritonitis were examined by multivariate logistic regression and multi...
متن کاملCoagulase negative staphylococcal peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis patients: review of 232 consecutive cases.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species is the most common cause of peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis; however, the optimal treatment strategy of coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species peritonitis remains controversial. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS All of the coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species peritonitis in a dialysis unit from 199...
متن کاملCoagulase negative staphylococcal sepsis in neonates: do we need to adapt vancomycin dose or target?
BACKGROUND Despite differences in types of infection and causative organisms, pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PKPD) targets of vancomycin therapy derived from adult studies are suggested for neonates. We aimed to identify doses needed for the attainment of AUC/MIC > 400 and AUC/MIC > 300 in neonates with sepsis and correlate these targets with recommended doses and treatment outcome. METHODS...
