1. CIPROFLOXACIN RESISTANCE PATTERN AMONG BACTERIA ISOLATED FROM PATIENTS WITH COMMUNITY-ACQUIRED URINARY TRACT INFECTION
SUMMARY Objective: To identify the main bacterial species associated with community-acquired urinary tract infection (UTI) and to assess the pattern of ciprofloxacin susceptibility among bacteria isolated from urine cultures. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study in all the patients with community-acquired UTI seen in Santa Helena Laboratory, Cama�

2. Genotyping of multidrug-resistant strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from burn and wound infections by ERIC-PCR
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To determine the genetic diversity of MDR P. aeruginosa strains isolated from burn and wound infections in Ahvaz, Iran, by ERIC-PCR. METHODS: From total 99 strains of P. aeruginosa defined as MDR by using drug susceptibility testing, 66 were subjected to ERIC-PCR analysis, comprises 53 strains isolated from burn infection, and 13 random

3. Healthcare-associated vancomycin resistant
Enterococcus faecium infections in the Mansoura University Hospitals intensive care units, EgyptVancomycin resistant
Enterococcus faecium (VREF) ia an emerging and challenging nosocomial pathogen. This study aimed to determine the prevalence, risk factors and clonal relationships between different VREF isolates in the intensive care units (ICUs) of the university hospitals in our geographic location.

4. A simple mathematical model to determine the ideal empirical antibiotic therapy for bacteremic patients
Background Local epidemiological data are always helpful when choosing the best antibiotic regimen, but it is more complex than it seems as it may require the analysis of multiple combinations. The aim of this study was to demonstrate a simplified mathematical calculation to determine the most appropriate antibiotic combination in a scenario where monothera

5. Impacto da aderência ao programa de controle de antimicrobianos na mortalidade de pacientes com neutropenia febril
Terapia empírica com antimicrobiano de amplo espectro faz parte do manejo inicial padrão de pacientes com neutropenia febril (NF). Evidências suficientes de quais esquemas antibióticos devem ser inicialmente prescritos já existem; embora, nenhum estudo randomizado tenha avaliado se a aderência a programas de controle de antimicrobianos (PCAs) resulta e

6. When are we going to celebrate the centenary of the discovery of efficient treatment for congenital toxoplasmosis?
In 2008, we have celebrated the centenary of the discovery of Toxoplasma gondii.Although this ubiquitous protozoan can generate devastating damage in foetuses and newborns, its treatment is the only field in which we have made little progress, despite a huge body of research, and has not yet been validated. Pregnant women who seroconvert are generally given

7. Implementing a policy for pneumococcal prophylaxis in a haematology unit after splenectomy.
People who have had a splenectomy for any reason are 40 times more likely to have an overwhelming infection, especially pneumococcal infection, and 17 times more likely to suffer fatal sepsis. The incidence of such life threatening infections is reduced by prophylactic immunisation with polyvalent pneumococcal vaccine and long term antibiotic prophylaxis or

8. An antibiotic policy for bacterial infections after thoracic and other injuries
Atherton, S. T., Wright, D. M., White, D. J., and Jones, E. S. (1977).Thorax,32, 596-600. An antibiotic policy for bacterial infections after thoracic and other injuries. Twenty-four patients suffering from thoracic and other injuries were admitted to an intensive care unit over a three-year period. The first four patients died from infection by Gram-negativ

9. The impact of blood culture reporting and clinical liaison on the empiric treatment of bacteraemia.
AIMS: To assess the impact of blood culture results and early clinical liaison on the treatment of patients with bacteraemia. METHODS: 123 patients with significant positive blood cultures were followed over a nine month period in a 620 bed teaching hospital. The impact of early blood culture reporting and clinical liaison on the cost and appropriateness of

11. Epidemiology of fecal strains of the family Enterobacteriaceae in 22 neonatal wards and influence of antibiotic policy.
The gram-negative fecal floras from 953 infants were studied upon discharge of the infants from 22 neonatal wards. More than 600 distinct phenotypes of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp., and Enterobacter spp. were distinguished by high-resolution biotyping. The colonization patterns observed showed considerable local and temporal variation. The major (M) str

12. Consumption of Imipenem Correlates with β-Lactam Resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
It is generally assumed that the antibiotic prescription policy of a hospital has a significant impact on bacterial resistance rates; however, few studies are available to support this concept with valid statistical data. During a 3-year period from 1997 to 2000, we monitored the consumption of β-lactam and other antibiotics with known activity against Pseu
