Antimicrobial resistance of germs isolated from invasive infections – Romania 2012
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Antimicrobial resistance has become a serious threat to public health undermining the efficacy of existing antimicrobials (including the last-resort ones) while very few novel antimicrobial agents are in the development pipeline. The interventions aimed to contain antimicrobial resistance need a continuous surveillance of new mechanisms of resistance emergence and the spread of existing ones. Romania participated since 2002 as member of European Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Network (EARS) for invasive infection; it is a network which collects data for the most important bacteria and clinically relevant antibiotics. We analyzed the antimicrobial resistance results obtained in 2012 in Romania, in order to support national guidelines for antimicrobial treatment and chemoprophylaxis.
