Repurposing of Meropenem and Nadifloxacin for Treatment of Burn Patients? [PDF]

, 2009
The escalating number of multidrug resistant pathogens has demanded the swift development of new and potent antibiotics (ref. 2). Metallo-[beta]-lactamases (MBLs) continue to evolve, rendering the latest generation of carbapenem antibiotics useless (ref.

Altered Pathogen Spectrum of Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis in Patients Treated With Proton Pump Inhibitors

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
This multicenter, observational study reveals distinct alterations in the microbial spectrum of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) associated with proton pump inhibitor use. These results are especially relevant for guiding empiric antibiotic therapy of SBP.

Phage Therapy: Targeting the Gut Microbiota for the Treatment of Acute Pancreatitis

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common clinical inflammatory condition whose severity is closely associated with both local pancreatic injury and systemic complications. Research indicates that gut microbiota dysbiosis and subsequent bacterial translocation can exacerbate disease progression via the gut–pancreas axis, representing a critical ...

Evaluation of a Computerized Decision Support Intervention to Decrease Use of Anti-Pseudomonal Carbapenems in Penicillin Allergic Patients

Antibiotics, 2016
Allergies to β-lactam antibiotics are commonly documented in hospitalized patients; however, true allergy is uncommon. Cross-reactivity rates for advanced generation cephalosporins and carbapenems are low; particularly for patients without a history of ...

Detection of VIM-1-producing Enterobacter cloacae and Salmonella enterica Serovars Infantis and Goldcoast at a breeding pig farm in Germany in 2017 and their molecular relationship to former VIM-1-producing S. Infantis Isolates in German livestock production [PDF]

, 2019
In 2011, VIM-1-producing Salmonella enterica serovar Infantis and Escherichia coli were isolated for the first time in four German livestock farms. In 2015/2016, highly related isolates were identified in German pig production.

Proposed Meropenem Breakpoints for Interpretation of Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing of Bacteria Isolated From Dogs

Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Meropenem is a carbapenem antibiotic used infrequently in veterinary medicine. However, antimicrobial susceptibility testing standards are needed to monitor for resistance caused by carbapenem resistant Enterobacterales (CRE). The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) does not have veterinary‐specific carbapenem breakpoints for ...
