Importance of controlling drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection: experience from lung transplantation in a cystic fibrosis case.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is rare in Japan. We encountered a CF case with drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection and successfully performed lung transplant from living related donors. A combination of beta-lactams and aminoglycosides for drug-resistant P. aeruginosa infection was administered before lung transplantation. Intravenous colistin was also used immediately before and after transplant surgery. Gram staining of respiratory specimens was performed every day after surgery and it was useful in monitoring infection status. Strict monitoring of infections by the Gram staining and culture of respiratory specimens is considered to be effective in preventing lower respiratory infection in lung transplantation.

Antibiotic Susceptibility of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Isolated from Cystic Fibrosis Patients
Abstract Background and Objective: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive genetic disease and Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most common bacteria colonized in CF patients. Growing resistance of this bacterium to antibiotics now a day is a challenge of controlling infection in CF patient. In this study colonization of CF patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and antibiotic suscep...
متن کاملOutcomes of adults with cystic fibrosis infected with antibiotic-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
BACKGROUND Although Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most common bacterial infection in adults with cystic fibrosis and frequently develops resistance to multiple classes of antibiotics, it has not been determined whether patients with multiple antibiotic-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa have worse clinical outcomes than patients with more susceptible strains. OBJECTIVES This study assessed the ...
متن کاملAntibiotic resistance properties and molecular characterization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains from patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) referred to Gholhak Pathobiology Laboratory in Tehran city during 2016-2018
Background and Objectives: Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from the lungs of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients are often heterogeneous and antibiotic resistant strains. Our work therefore focused on the antibiotic resistance properties of these P. aeruginosa strains isolated from Iranian patients, as well as the genetic diversity analysis by a repetitive-element-based molecular assay. Methods: This ...
متن کاملGenetic Profiling of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolates from Iranian Patients with Cystic Fibrosis Using RAPD-PCR and PFGE
Objective(s) Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most important cause of chronic lung infections and death in patients with cystic fibrosis. Determining the distribution of specific strains within patient populations is important in order to examine the epidemiology of the disease and the possibility of cross infection among patients. Materials and Methods Forty six Iranian patients with cystic fib...
متن کاملUse of ceftolozane-tazobactam in a cystic fibrosis patient with multidrug-resistant pseudomonas infection and renal insufficiency
We report the successful use of ceftolozane/tazobactam (C/T) to treat a pulmonary exacerbation in a 35 year old female, post lung transplant, with cystic fibrosis (CF), malnutrition, chronic kidney disease, and multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection (MDR PSA). Given the complexity of the clinical profile, we measured drug levels of C/T during treatment of her current exacerbation...
