متن کاملEffects of requiring prior authorization for selected antimicrobials: expenditures, susceptibilities, and clinical outcomes.
Antimicrobial control programs are widely used to decrease drug expenditures, but effects on antimicrobial resistance and outcomes for patients are unknown. When a requirement for prior authorization for selected parenteral antimicrobial agents was initiated at our urban, county teaching hospital, total parenteral antimicrobial expenditures decreased by 32%. Susceptibilities to all beta-lactam ...
متن کاملMicrobiological Profile of Organisms Causing Bloodstream Infection in Critically Ill Patients
BACKGROUND Bloodstream infection (BSI) is the most frequent infection in critically ill patients. As BSI's among patients in intensive care units (ICU's) are usually secondary to intravascular catheters, they can be caused by both Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms as well as fungi. Infection with multidrug-resistant (MDR) organisms is becoming more common, making the choice of empi...
