Antibiotic-Resistant Infections and Treatment Challenges in the Immunocompromised Host.

This article reviews antibiotic resistance and treatment of bacterial infections in the growing number of patients who are immunocompromised: solid organ transplant recipients, the neutropenic host, and persons with human immunodeficiency virus and…

Overview of resistance in the 1990s.

The tremendous therapeutic advantage afforded by antibiotics is being threatened by the emergence of increasingly resistant strains of microbes. Selective pressure favoring resistant strains arises from misuse and overuse of antimicrobials (notably…

The science of selecting antimicrobials for community-acquired pneumonia (CAP).

BACKGROUND: Among infectious diseases, community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is the leading cause of death in the United States and is associated with a substantial economic burden to the health care system. Initiating appropriate empiric therapy can be…

Solutions to the problem of bacterial resistance.

The recent increase in bacterial resistance has been, and continues to be, unmatched by drug discovery and development. The judicious use of antibacterials must be observed so as to contain bacterial resistance and maintain the utility of agents…

[Clinical impact of appropriate use of antibiotic in hospital according to CARAT criteria].

In response to the overuse and misuse of antibiotics, leading to increasing bacterial resistance and the decreasing development of new antibiotics, the Council for Appropriate and Rational Antibiotic Therapy (an independent, interdisciplinary panel…

Strategies for improving antimicrobial use and the role of antimicrobial stewardship programs.

The Evolving Role of Antimicrobial Stewardship in Management of Multidrug Resistant Infections.

This article summarizes the current literature describing how antimicrobial stewardship interventions impact antimicrobial resistance. Discussion includes why we need stewardship, how to collaborate with team members, and the evidence of…

A subtherapeutic international normalized ratio despite increasing doses of warfarin: could this be malabsorption?

OBJECTIVE: To describe a case of warfarin resistance apparently caused by malabsorption and to review the literature regarding warfarin resistance. CASE SUMMARY: A 28-year-old renal transplant patient with systemic lupus erythematosus was admitted…

Overview: Global and Local Impact of Antibiotic Resistance.

The rapid and ongoing spread of antibiotic resistance poses a serious threat to global public health. The indiscriminant use of antibiotics in agriculture and human medicine along with increasingly connected societies has fueled the distribution of…
