Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium colonization in children.
Nosocomial vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) infections have been described in only small numbers of pediatric patients. In none of these studies were multivariate analyses performed to assess which factors were independent risk factors in these patients. In the present cohort study of patients admitted to our hematology/oncology unit, surveillance cultures revealed a colonization rate of...
متن کاملCost of hospitalization for and risk factors associated with vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium infection and colonization.
The increase in costs of hospitalization for patients with drug-resistant infection may be associated with drug resistance itself or with the severity of the underlying illness that predisposes patients to acquire the drug-resistant infection. To address this issue, risk factors and cost of hospitalization were compared for patients infected or colonized with vancomycin-susceptible Enterococcus...
متن کاملRisk factors for non-vancomycin-resistant enterococcus faecium infection
Results We studied 841 patients, 21 of them (2.5 %) with an E. Faecium infection. No E. faecium vancomycin resistance was found. Patients with E. Faecium isolation were older (69.5 vs 64), infections had been acquired in the hospital, were surgical patients in higher proportion and had longer ICU stay (81 vs 44.3 % p 0.001 and 57.1 vs 27.5 % p 0.003 and 6 (3-11) vs 13 (6-25) p 0.001 respectivel...
متن کاملRisk Factors of Rectal Colonization of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci in Shiraz Namazi Hospital
Introduction: Risk factors for Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE) colonization are patient-related factors such as underlying disease or amount of prescribed antibiotics, and hospital-related factors such as duration of hospitalization, type of performed therapeutic procedures, and antibiotic prescription. This nested case control study was performed to determine risk factors of rectal VRE ...
متن کاملThe Inhibitory Effect of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG on Vancomycin Resistant Enterococcus faecalis Colonization in Mouse
Background&Aims: Vancomycin Resistant Enterococci (VRE) are among the most common nosocomial pathogens worldwide. The intestinal tract provides a major source for transmission of these bacteria. Probiotics are living microorganisms that moderate use of them has inhibitory effect on intestinal colonization by enteric pathogens. We examined the effect of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) on inhibi...
