Antibiotic regimens and intestinal colonization with antibiotic-resistant gram-negative bacilli.
The intestinal tract provides an important reservoir for antibiotic-resistant gram-negative bacilli, including Enterobacteriaceae species, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii. Selective pressure exerted by antibiotics plays a crucial role in the emergence and dissemination of these pathogens. Many classes of antibiotics may promote intestinal colonization by health care-associat...

There are 3 main groups of multiple resistant Gram-negative bacteria: Enterobacteriaceae with ESBL or AmpC enzymes – Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp., Enterobacter cloacae, Citrobacter freundii, Morganella morganii, Serratia marcescens Acinetobacter spp. – resistant to aminoglycoside antibiotics as well as occasionally carbapenems and Colistin Pseudomonas spp. – resistant to combinations...
متن کاملAntibiotic resistance in gram-negative bacilli: a Singapore perspective.
INTRODUCTION Antibiotic resistance in gram-negative bacilli is an area of increasing importance. This prospective study was performed to survey antibiotic resistance in Escherichia coli (E. coli), Klebsiella spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter spp. over a 1-year period. MATERIALS AND METHODS Non-duplicate isolates of E. coli, Klebsiella spp., P. aeruginosa and Acinetobacter spp. we...
متن کاملImpact of antibiotic resistance in gram-negative bacilli on empirical and definitive antibiotic therapy.
Serious infections with gram-negative pathogens continue to be associated with considerable mortality. Increasing antibiotic resistance in organisms such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Klebsiella pneumoniae is contributing to difficulties with choosing antibiotics to prescribe for these infections. Optimization of therapy against these organisms starts with the initial ...
متن کاملAntibiotic-resistant gram-negative bacterial infections in patients with cancer.
Patients with cancer are at high risk for infections caused by antibiotic resistant gram-negative bacteria. In this review, we summarize trends among the major pathogens and clinical syndromes associated with antibiotic resistant gram-negative bacterial infection in patients with malignancy, with special attention to carbapenem and expanded-spectrum β-lactam resistance in Escherichia coli, Kleb...
