Empirical Antibiotic Therapy for Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the most common infectious complication in the intensive care unit. It can increase duration of mechanical ventilation, length of stay, costs, and mortality. Improvements in the administration of empirical antibiotic therapy have potential to reduce the complications of VAP. This review will discuss the current data addressing empirical antibiotic therap...
متن کاملAntibiotic combination as empirical therapy for extended spectrum Beta-lactamase.
BACKGROUND extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing gram negative bacilli are becoming a growing problem worldwide with difficulties in designing a national formulary for empirical treatment of gram negative sepsis. OBJECTIVES In this study, we investigated the in vitro activity of Carbapenems, Pipracillin-Tazobactam, Ciprofloxacin alone or in combination with aminoglycosides against ES...
متن کاملAcute uncomplicated UTI and E. coli resistance: implications for first-line empirical antibiotic therapy.
BACKGROUND Uncomplicated urinary tract infection (uUTI) typically affects immunocompetent, anatomically normal women. Escherichia coli (E. coli) accounts for approximately 80% of cases. Given increased E. coli-trimethoprimsulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) resistance, practice guidelines advocate first-line alternatives based on local resistance rates above 10%. This paper provides a model incorporatin...
متن کاملPrevalence and Antibiogram Pattern of Salmonella Causing UTI Infection
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of Salmonella in the urine of UTI patient. Salmonella species are a rare cause of urinary tract infections and it also associated with food-borne gastroenteritis. Salmonella UTI is uncommon and is reported more often in patients with a predisposing factor, such as immune deficiency or a structural abnormality. Total 100 samples of urine were...
متن کاملAntibiotic Tolerance and Combination Therapy
The recent paper by Haaber et al. (1) highlights another mechanism by which bacterial pathogens may evade the effects of antibiotics. The combination of colistin with vancomycin against Staphylococcus aureus may be antagonistic and may lessen the effectiveness of glycopeptide antibiotic. Colistin, it seems, induces gene expression in S. aureus which mimics the vancomycinintermediate (VISA) phen...
