Antimicrobial therapy and control of multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteremia in a teaching hospital in Taiwan.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a challenging clinical problem. This study investigated the source of an outbreak of MDR P. aeruginosa infections and the role of combination therapy in its management. METHODS MDR P. aeruginosa isolates were collected at the MacKay Memorial Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan, and antibiotic synergy was investig...
متن کاملAntimicrobial use and incidence of multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a teaching hospital: an ecological approach.
INTRODUCTION Multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major threat in healthcare settings. The use of antimicrobials can influence the incidence of resistant strains by direct and indirect mechanisms. The latter can be addressed by ecological studies. METHODS Our group attempted to analyze the relation between the use of antipseudomonal drugs and the incidence of MDR-PA among 18 units ...
متن کاملMultidrug resistant acinetobacter infection and their antimicrobial susceptibility pattern in a nigerian tertiary hospital ICU.
BACKGROUND Acinetobacter baumannii, a non-glucose fermenting Gram negative bacillus, has emerged in the last three decades as a major etiological agent of hospital-associated infections giving rise to significant morbidity and mortality particularly in immunocompromised patients. Multidrug resistant A. baumannii (MDR-AB) is fast becoming a global threat, having developed resistance to major cla...
