A Comparison of a Solid Organ Transplant Population‐Specific Antibiogram With the Hospital‐Wide Antibiogram

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients are vulnerable to infections with multidrug‐resistant organisms, and they often do not receive adequate empiric antimicrobials for serious Gram‐negative infections. Knowledge of differences in antimicrobial resistance rates in this specific population can help guide empiric antimicrobial ...

Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) Recovered from Burn Patients

Journal of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016
Purpose. Emergence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) and their prolonged presence in burn units increases the risk of acquisition of CRAB. Methods. From November 2012 to September 2013, 1474 burn patients were screened for CRAB isolates through testing susceptibility to imipenem and its comparators meropenem, and doripenem ...

Comparison between bacteremia caused by carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter baumannii and Acinetobacter nosocomialis [PDF]

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2013
Abstract Background It is unknown whether there are differences between bacteremia caused by carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) and carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter nosocomialis (CRAN). This study aims to investigate the differences, especially in clinical outcomes, between patients with bacteremia ...
