How to measure the impacts of antibiotic resistance and antibiotic development on empiric therapy: new composite indices
OBJECTIVES We aimed to construct widely useable summary measures of the net impact of antibiotic resistance on empiric therapy. Summary measures are needed to communicate the importance of resistance, plan and evaluate interventions, and direct policy and investment. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS As an example, we retrospectively summarised the 2011 cumulative antibiogram from a Toronto ac...
متن کاملPharmacological indices in antibiotic therapy.
After 60 years of antibiotic treatment, attempts to rationalize it have culminated in the use of pharmacological indices. These indices facilitate comparison of the activity of different antibiotics and serve as a sound basis for antibiotic dosing. Pharmacokinetic parameters (e.g. AUC, Cmax) and pharmacodynamic parameters (mostly MIC) are used for this purpose. For the so-called concentration-d...
متن کاملEpidemiology of antibiotic resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Implications for empiric and definitive therapy.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the major pathogens causing hospital-acquired infections. It can easily develop antibiotic resistance through chromosomal mutations or by horizontal acquisition of resistant determinants. The increasing prevalence of multi-drug-resistant (MDR) or extensively-drug-resistant (XDR) P. aeruginosa isolates is associated with the dissemination of the so-called high-ri...

متن کاملEmpiric antibiotic therapy in urinary tract infection in patients with risk factors for antibiotic resistance in a German emergency department
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to identify clinical risk factors for antimicrobial resistances and multidrug resistance (MDR) in urinary tract infections (UTI) in an emergency department in order to improve empirical therapy. METHODS UTI cases from an emergency department (ED) during January 2013 and June 2015 were analyzed. Differences between patients with and without resistances towa...
