Evaluation of Antibiotic Resistance to Colistin in Nosocomial Infections with Multidrug-Resistant Acinetobacter
Background and Objective:Acinetobacter infection is one of the most common nosocomial infections that its antibiotic resistance has increased in recent years.This study aimed to evaluate drug resistance to colistin in nosocomial infections with multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacterbaumannii. Materials and Methods:This cross-sectional study was performed on 45 blood or body fluid culture samp...
متن کاملMultidrug-resistant Acinetobacter Infection Mortality Rate and Length of Hospitalization
Acinetobacter infections have increased and gained attention because of the organism's prolonged environmental survival and propensity to develop antimicrobial drug resistance. The effect of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter infection on clinical outcomes has not been reported. A retrospective, matched cohort investigation was performed at 2 Baltimore hospitals to examine outcomes of pati...
متن کاملExcess length of stay, charges, and mortality attributable to medical injuries during hospitalization.
CONTEXT Although medical injuries are recognized as a major hazard in the health care system, little is known about their impact. OBJECTIVE To assess excess length of stay, charges, and deaths attributable to medical injuries during hospitalization. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Patient Safety Indicators (PSIs) were used to identify medi...
متن کاملAlternating antibiotic treatments constrain evolutionary paths to multidrug resistance.
Alternating antibiotic therapy, in which pairs of drugs are cycled during treatment, has been suggested as a means to inhibit the evolution of de novo resistance while avoiding the toxicity associated with more traditional combination therapy. However, it remains unclear under which conditions and by what means such alternating treatments impede the evolution of resistance. Here, we tracked mul...
متن کاملAntibiotic strategies in the era of multidrug resistance
The rapid emergence and dissemination of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms in ICUs worldwide threaten adequate antibiotic coverage of infected patients in this environment. The causes of this problem are multifactorial, but the core issues are clear: the emergence of antibiotic resistance is highly correlated with selective pressure resulting from inappropriate use of these drugs. Because a s...
