چکیده
The increasing presence of drug-resistant bacterial infections among hospitalAbstract ised patients has resulted in greater numbers of patients receiving inappropriate antimicrobial treatment. This has led to the development of a novel paradigm guiding the administration of empirical antimicrobial therapy for patients with serious infections in the hospital setting. Antibacterial de-escalation is an approach to antibacterial utilisation that attempts to balance the need to provide appropriate, initial antibacterial treatment while limiting the emergence of antibacterial resistance. The goal of de-escalation is to prescribe an initial antibacterial regimen that will cover the most likely bacterial pathogens associated with infection while minimising the emergence of antibacterial resistance. Antibacterial resistance is minimised by narrowing the antibacterial regimen once the pathogens and their susceptibility profiles are determined, and by employing the shortest course of therapy clinically acceptable.

The CFHT Open Star Cluster Survey. IV. Two Rich, Young Open Star Clusters: NGC 2168 (M35) and NGC 2323 (M50)
We continue our study of rich Galactic clusters by presenting deep CCD observations of both NGC 2168 (M35) and NGC 2323 (M50). Both clusters are found to be rich (NGC 2168 contains at least 1000 stars brighter than V = 22 and NGC 2323 contains ∼2100 stars brighter than our photometric limit of V ∼ 23) and young (age of NGC 2168 = 180 Myrs, age of NGC 2323 = 130 Myrs). The color-magnitude diagra...
