چکیده
Methods. From January 2011 to December 2016, inclusive, 12 to 15 sentinel hospitals across Canada submitted clinical isolates from patients attending ERs, medical and surgical wards, hospital clinics, and ICUs (CANWARD). Each center was asked to annually submit clinical isolates (consecutive, one per patient/infection site) from blood (100), respiratory (100), urine (25), and wound (25) infections. Susceptibility testing was performed using broth microdilution as described by CLSI. MICs were interpreted using CLSI breakpoints, where available. Results. 349 S. maltophilia clinical isolates were obtained as a part of CANWARD (86% from a respiratory source). The susceptibility profile of these isolates is presented below.

Characterization, Prevalence and Antibiotic Resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii Infecting Foodstuff
Background: Acinetobacter baumannii is a highly virulent bacterium. It causes opportunistic and nosocomial infections and is a threat to healthcare settings. It has also developed multidrug resistance (MDR) capacity. The nosocomial bacteria and antibiotic resistance are primordial and a significant public health concern. These bacteria and their threat can be prevented by reducing infected food...
متن کاملIn Vitro Activities of the -Lactamase Inhibitors Clavulanic Acid, Sulbactam, and Tazobactam Alone or in Combination with -Lactams against Epidemiologically Characterized Multidrug-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Strains
Acinetobacter baumannii is an important nosocomial pathogen usually in the context of serious underlying disease. Multidrug resistance in these organisms is frequent. The -lactamase inhibitors clavulanic acid, sulbactam, and tazobactam have intrinsic activity against Acinetobacter strains. To evaluate their potential therapeutic usefulness, we determined the in vitro activity of ampicillin, sul...

The agar dilution MIC method was used to test activities of ticarcillin, ticarcillin-clavulanate, amoxicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanate, ampicillin, ampicillin-sulbactam, piperacillin, piperacillin-tazobactam, inhibitors alone, ceftazidime, and imipenem against 237 Acinetobacter genospecies. A total of 93.2% of strains were beta-lactamase positive by the chromogenic cephalosporin method. Overall...
متن کاملContribution of Acinetobacter-derived cephalosporinase-30 to sulbactam resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii
The sulbactam resistance rate in Acinetobacter baumannii has increased worldwide. Previous reports have shown that the β-lactamase bla TEM-1 confers resistance to sulbactam in A. baumannii. The purpose of this study was to examine whether other β-lactamases, including the Acinetobacter-derived cephalosporinase (ADC), OXA-23, OXA-24/72, and OXA-58 families, also contribute to sulbactam resistanc...
متن کاملAmpicillin/Sulbactam in Combination: A Review of its Use in the Treatment of Severe Bacterial Infections
Ampicillin/Sulbactam is a combination of antibiotics made up of ampicillin, a betalactam and Sulbactam, a betalactamase inhibitor introduced in the eighties. The most frequent used combination is Ampicillin/Sulbactam (ratio 2:1) although the two agents are not synergetic. Ampicillin/Sulbactam has a wide range of antibacterial activity that includes Gram-positive and Gram-negative aerobic and an...
