Microbiological profile and multidrug resistant bacteria in pneumonia
Background Currently accepted classifications of pneumonia include community acquired pneumonia (CAP), healthcareassociated pneumonia (HCAP), hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP), and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Previous studies have shown a high rate of patients with HCAP or HAP caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDR). Our aim was to determine the differences in etiology and antib...
متن کاملMultidrug-Resistant Bacteria in Southeastern Austria
To the Editor: In many parts of the world, the proportions of methicil-lin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant en-terococci, and extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)–producing organisms in the family Enterobacteriaceae have increased remarkably during recent years (1). However, proportions of antimicrobial drug resistance vary substantially at national and regional leve...
متن کاملQuantitative assessment of combination antimicrobial therapy against multidrug-resistant bacteria in a murine pneumonia model.
BACKGROUND Combination antimicrobial therapy is clinically used as a last-resort strategy to control multidrug-resistant bacterial infections. However, selection of antibiotics is often empirical, and conventional assessment of combined drug effect has not been correlated to clinical outcomes. Here, we report a quantitative method to assess combined killing of antimicrobial agents against 2 mul...
متن کاملHealthcare-associated pneumonia and multidrug-resistant bacteria: do we have a convincing answer?
TO THE EDITOR—Classification of community onset pneumonia is an important matter in which we are involved, having published pieces of evidence in the recent past [1, 2]. We have read with considerable interest the systematic review and meta-analysis of Chalmers and colleagues [3] as we are completing a work on the same issue. However, several methodo-logical issues have to be addressed. First, ...
متن کاملRisk factors for infection with multidrug-resistant bacteria in non-ventilated patients with hospital-acquired pneumonia*,**
OBJECTIVE To identify risk factors for the development of hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria in non-ventilated patients. METHODS This was a retrospective observational cohort study conducted over a three-year period at a tertiary-care teaching hospital. We included only non-ventilated patients diagnosed with HAP and presenting with positive bacteria...
