Association between bacterial resistance and antimicrobial consumption

Annales de biologie clinique, 2014
The evolution of multidrug resistance remains an alarming topic due to selection pressure related to the inappropriate use of antibiotics.Our work is in this perspective and focuses on the evolution of the consumption of antibiotics active on gram-negative bacilli, and the evolution of bacterial resistance.International indicator of antibiotic ...

Global antibiotic consumption and regional antimicrobial resistance, 2010-21: an analysis of pharmaceutical sales and antimicrobial resistance surveillance data.

Lancet Global Health
BACKGROUND The rising prevalence of antimicrobial resistance driven by inappropriate antibiotic consumption has become a major global challenge. We aimed to examine spatiotemporal patterns of antibiotic consumption across countries from 2010 to 2021 and ...

How to measure and monitor antimicrobial consumption and resistance

Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiología Clínica, 2013
Collateral damage caused by antibiotic use includes resistance, which could be reduced if the global inappropriate use of antibiotics, especially in low-income countries, could be prevented. Surveillance of antimicrobial consumption can identify and target practice areas for quality improvement, both in the community and in healthcare institutions. The

Comparison of antimicrobial consumption indicators in the emergency department

Enfermedades infecciosas y microbiologia clinica (English ed.)
Monitoring antimicrobial use in the emergency department is complex due to the wide variety of existing indicators. We evaluated the differences between various indicators used to evaluate antimicrobial use in these units.Retrospective analysis of administrative data from all adult patients admitted to an emergency unit (2019-2024).

An assessment of antimicrobial consumption in food producing animals in Kenya

Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 2001
Antimicrobial agents are useful for control of bacterial infections in food animals and man. Their prudent use in these animals is important to control any possible development and transfer of resistance between animals and man. The objective of this study was to generate quantitative information to evaluate antimicrobial usage patterns by animal ...

[Increasing antimicrobial consumption in hospitals].

Ugeskrift for laeger, 2011
The antimicrobial consumption in hospital care has increased steadily during the latest decade. Now, broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents dominate the consumption at the expense of beta-lactamase sensitive penicillins. The reasons for these changes are not fully understood, but increased activity at the hospitals, higher resistance rates and the ...
