Antimicrobial resistance in urinary pathogens among Swedish nursing home residents remains low: a cross-sectional study comparing antimicrobial resistance from 2003 to 2012
BACKGROUND There are several risk factors for the colonisation, infection and spreading of antibiotic resistant bacteria among elderly residents of nursing homes. An updated estimate of the native prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in uropathogens among Swedish nursing home residents is needed.

متن کاملVital Signs: Improving Antibiotic Use Among Hospitalized Patients
BACKGROUND Antibiotics are essential to effectively treat many hospitalized patients. However, when antibiotics are prescribed incorrectly, they offer little benefit to patients and potentially expose them to risks for complications, including Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) and antibiotic-resistant infections. Information is needed on the frequency of incorrect prescribing in hospitals a...
متن کاملVital signs: preventing Clostridium difficile infections.
BACKGROUND Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is a common and sometimes fatal health-care-associated infection; the incidence, deaths, and excess health-care costs resulting from CDIs in hospitalized patients are all at historic highs. Meanwhile, the contribution of nonhospital health-care exposures to the overall burden of CDI, and the ability of programs to prevent CDIs by implementing CDC...
متن کاملInvestigation of Antimicrobial Susceptibility in Clostridium Difficile Isolated From Older Adult Residents of a Nursing Home in Tehran
Background: CClostridium difficile is an anaerobic gram-positive bacterium currently recognized as the most common cause of nosocomial infectious diarrhea in the nursing home. The antibiotic susceptibility profiles are the basic step to successful treatment due to the antimicrobial resistance. This present study assessed the susceptibility profiles of C. difficile, previously isolated from Elde...
