Streamlining antibiotic use in community acquired pneumonia: A quality improvement initiative

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Evidence suggests a 3‐day total duration and early transition to oral therapy is safe in hospitalized patients with community acquired pneumonia (CAP)—though such care is not standard in the United States. To implement these evidence‐based practices, a multidisciplinary group led by a hospitalist and antimicrobial stewardship ...

Role of β-Lactamase Inhibitors as Potentiators in Antimicrobial Chemotherapy Targeting Gram-Negative Bacteria

Antibiotics
Since the discovery of penicillin, β-lactam antibiotics have commonly been used to treat bacterial infections. Unfortunately, at the same time, pathogens can develop resistance to β-lactam antibiotics such as penicillins, cephalosporins, monobactams, and

Detection of Multi-drug Resistant \u3cem\u3eEscherichia coli\u3c/em\u3e in the Urban Waterways of Milwaukee, WI [PDF]

, 2015
Urban waterways represent a natural reservoir of antibiotic resistance which may provide a source of transferable genetic elements to human commensal bacteria and pathogens. The objective of this study was to evaluate antibiotic resistance of Escherichia

Results of A Local Combination Therapy Antibiogram For \u3cem\u3ePseudomonas Aeruginosa\u3c/em\u3e Isolates: Is Double Worth The Trouble? [PDF]

, 2017
Purpose: To determine the frequency at which fluoroquinolones and aminoglycosides demonstrate in vitro activity against non-urinary, non-skin/skin structure Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates exhibiting decreased susceptibilities to one or more β-lactam ...

Detecting Antibiotic Resistance in Strains of Selected Gram‐Negative Bacterial Species Using Raman Spectroscopy

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
Raman spectroscopy successfully identified antibiotic‐resistant Gram‐negative strains. Resistant strains of four bacterial species were discriminated from sensitive ones with 99.1% accuracy using PLS regression. The method allows for rapid, label‐free detection of antibiotic resistance.

Successful Use of Bimekizumab in Refractory Acute Generalised Exanthematous Pustulosis Triggered by Amoxicillin‐Clavulanate

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Acute generalised exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is a rare, acute neutrophilic dermatosis most commonly triggered by drugs, which typically resolves within 2 weeks following withdrawal of the causative agent. Topical and systemic corticosteroids remain the standard treatment.

Anterolateral‐Thigh Fascia Lata Free Flap Versus Fibula Free Flap for Mandibular Osteoradionecrosis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The anterolateral thigh fascia lata “rescue” free flap has been employed as a novel tool in the treatment of advanced partial thickness mandibular osteoradionecrosis. Compared with the traditional fibula free flap for the same indication, the “rescue” flap provides similar outcomes in terms of disease resolution, superior functional outcomes, and ...

Antimicrobial Residues in a Key Cerrado River: Distribution, Persistence, and Effects on Zebrafish Embryo‐Larval Development

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The current study aimed to quantify the antimicrobials amoxicillin (AMX), cefazolin (CFZ), chloramphenicol (CHL), metronidazole (MTZ), and sulfamethoxazole (SX) in effluents and surface water of an important Cerrado river, calculate their half‐lives, and analyze their ecotoxicity following single and combined exposures.

The Secondary Resistome of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus to β-Lactam Antibiotics

Antibiotics
Background: Therapeutic strategies for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are increasingly limited due to the ability of the pathogen to evade conventional treatments such as vancomycin and daptomycin. This challenge has shifted the focus

Reusing health records from farm animal practices at scale: A potential complementary method of surveillance

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Disease in primary care frequently represents a surveillance blind spot, particularly for diseases affecting farm animals. Methods Electronic health records (EHRs) were collected from four farm animal veterinary practices in Wales (February 2024‒January 2025) as part of a pilot study.
