Use of β-Lactam/β-Lactamase Inhibitors for Extended-Spectrum-β-Lactamase Infections: Defining the Right Patient Population.

چکیده
In a multicenter, multinational observational study that included neutropenic patients with bloodstream infections by extended-spectrum-β-lactamase-producing species, Gudiol et al. (Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 61:e00164-17, 2017, https://doi.org/10.1128/AAC.00164-17) demonstrated that β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitors are effective treatment options. A review of this work, however, reminds us that some lingering questions remain for specific high-risk subgroups.

Introduction : The widespread use of β -lactam antibiotic has lead to the development of resistance to this group of antibiotics in bacterial pathogens due to β -lactamase production. This study was undertaken to determine the AmpC β -lactamase production in pathogens isolated from hospitalized patients at selected university hospitals of Tehran. Materials & Methods: Non-repeat clinical iso...

Background & Aims: The production of extended-spectrum-β-lactamases (ESBLs) is the main mechanism of resistance to β-lactam antibiotics. The outbreak of isolates simultaneously possessing several resistance mechanisms to β-lactam antibiotics caused a decrease in sensitivity of the confirmatory tests for ESBL. The aim of this study was the evaluation of the β-lactamase disk test method in the de...
