Antimicrobial Resistance in Children With Bloodstream Infections: A Population‐Based Study in Stockholm, Sweden

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim We retrospectively evaluated trends in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in paediatric bloodstream infections and assessed changes in antimicrobial prescription patterns over a 20‐year period. Methods We analysed positive blood cultures from children admitted with suspected serious infection between 1998 and 2018.

Evaluation of carriage and environmental contamination by carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2016
We evaluated the sensitivity of surveillance cultures for carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) in patients and in their environment. Patients with a CRAB-positive clinical culture were sampled within 7 days; the buccal mucosa and rectum were sampled using swabs, and skin was sampled using pre-moistened sterile sponges.

Carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii: where is it heading?

Le infezioni in medicina, 2013
In the context of the substantial increase in antibiotic resistance rates of Acinetobacter baumannii, we aimed to evaluate the susceptibility rate changes of A. baumannii strains for carbapenems. A. baumannii strains isolated from patients diagnosed with healthcare-associated infections between 2007-2010 were included. A total of 127 A.
