Multidrug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae infections: current and future therapeutic options.
Antibacterial resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae is increasing worldwide, affecting principally beta-lactams and macrolides (prevalence ranging between approximately 1% and 90% depending on the geographical area). Fluoroquinolone resistance has also started to emerge in countries with high level of antibacterial resistance and consumption. Of more concern, 40% of pneumococci display multi-d...
متن کاملI.V. minocycline revisited for infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
PURPOSE The evidence supporting the potential use of i.v. minocycline for serious infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) is summarized. SUMMARY Minocycline achieves good tissue penetration and excellent oral absorption. Minocycline achieves serum concentrations comparable to other tetracyclines, with peak serum concentrations ranging from 3 to 8.75 mg/L following i.v. admi...
متن کاملEpidemiology of Multidrug Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB)
The history of tuberculosis treatment has observed sequential development of resistance to anti-tuberculosis drugs over the decades. Para amino salicylic acid (PAS) and isoniazid (INH) were introduced to reduce the development of streptomycin (SM) resistance, which heralded the era of combination treatment for tuberculosis [1]. Within 20 years, resistance to both INH and SM was already a challe...
متن کاملTreatment Outcomes of Patients with Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR- TB) Compared with Non-MDR-TB Infections in Peninsular Malaysia.
BACKGROUND Treating patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) strains is more complicated, complex, toxic, expensive, than treating patients with susceptible TB strains. This study aims to compare the treatment outcomes and potential factors associated between patients with MDR-TB and non MDR TB infections in peninsular Malaysia. METHODS This study was a retrospective cohort stu...
متن کاملBurden of multidrug-resistant organisms in Hungary
Methods The National Bacteriological Surveillance System (NBS) in Hungary was established with the aims to monitor resistance rates and trends of the most important pathogens in invasive isolates, in all inpatient and in outpatient isolates. The database of NBS includes more than 65% of all positive results of clinical bacteriological samples published by Hungarian laboratories. We monitored re...
