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 کاملEmpirical antibiotic therapy in prosthetic joint infections.
When dealing with prosthetic joint infections (PJI) there is often the need to start antibiotic therapy without having identified the underlying pathogen. Under these circumstances there is no consensus regarding which antibiotic to use. We aimed to produce local recommendations for empirical antibiotic treatment of PJI by describing the microbiological spectrum involved and respective antibiot...
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 کاملEmpirical antibiotic therapy for suspected early-onset bacterial sepsis.
Universal screening for maternal group B streptococcal (GBS) colonization and use of intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis have resulted in substantial reduction in early-onset GBS among newborns. Despite this progress, GBS remains the leading cause of earlyonset neonatal sepsis in the United States, with continued burden of disease.2 In 2010, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued ...
