Multidrug-Resistant Pathogens in Hospitalized Syrian Children
نویسندگان
چکیده
Since 2013, wounded and ill children from Syria have received treatment in Israel. Screening cultures indicated that multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens colonized 89 (83%) of 107 children. For 58% of MDR infections, the pathogen was similar to that identified during screening. MDR screening of these children is valuable for purposes of isolation and treatment.

Multidrug Resistance in Infants and Children
Bacterial infections may cause disease and death. Infants and children are often subject to bacterial infections. Antimicrobials kill bacteria protecting the infected patients andreducing the risk of morbidity and mortality caused by bacteria. The antibiotics may lose their antibacterial activity when they become resistant to a bacteria. The resistance to different antibiotics in a bacteria is ...

متن کاملUse of cefoperazone/sulbactam in neonates.
BACKGROUND Neonates are at high risk for nosocomial infections due to multidrug-resistant pathogens. The use of β-lactamase inhibitors in combination with β-lactam antibiotics broadens the antimicrobial spectrum. Cefoperazone/sulbactam is used in children but there are limited data on its usage in neonates. The purpose of the present study was therefore to evaluate the use of cefoperazone/sulba...

Background and Objectives: Combination therapy has been considered as a potential approach to overcome antimicrobial resistance. In this study the antimicrobial effects of active compounds produced by some marine Streptomyces spp. in combination with some standard antibiotics against multidrug-resistant pathogens was investigated. Materials and Methods: In this laboratory study, the bacteria i...
متن کاملPrevalence of β-lactamase genes, class 1 integrons, major virulence factors and clonal relationships of multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from hospitalized patients in southeast of Iran
Objective(s): Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most important nosocomial pathogens causing a high rate of mortality among hospitalized patients. Herein, we report the prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes, class 1 integrons, major virulence genes and clonal relationship among multidrug- resistant (MDR) P. aeruginosa, isolated from four referral hospitals in the...
