Impact of a clinical guideline for prescribing antibiotics to inpatients reporting penicillin or cephalosporin allergy

Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, 2015
BACKGROUND Self-reported penicillin allergy infrequently reflects an inability to tolerate penicillins. Inpatients reporting penicillin allergy receive alternative antibiotics that might be broader spectrum, more toxic, or less effective.

Reciprocal Regulation of Cephalosporin Resistance in Enterococcus faecalis

, 2011
Antibiotic-resistant enterococci are major causes of hospital-acquired infections and therefore represent a serious public health problem. One well-known risk factor for the acquisition of hospital-acquired enterococcal infections is prior therapy with ...

Genomic Insights Into Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Acquired Azithromycin Resistance Genes in Salmonella Strains Worldwide

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Azithromycin has been used for clinical invasive infections caused by fluoroquinolone‐ and third‐generation cephalosporin‐resistant Salmonella, and mass drug administration with azithromycin has been used to reduce under‐5 mortality in children in some countries.

Do antibiotic residues in soils play a role in amplification and transmission of antibiotic resistant bacteria in cattle populations?

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013
When we consider factors that contribute to the emergence, amplification, and persistence of antibiotic resistant bacteria, the conventional assumption is that antibiotic use is the primary driver in these processes and that selection occurs primarily in

Dissemination of Cephalosporin Resistance Genes between Escherichia coli Strains from Farm Animals and Humans by Specific Plasmid Lineages

PLoS Genetics, 2014
Third-generation cephalosporins are a class of β-lactam antibiotics that are often used for the treatment of human infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria, especially Escherichia coli.

The problem with cephalosporins [PDF]

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2001
The cephalosporin antibiotics have become a major part of the antibiotic formulary for hospitals in affluent countries. They are prescribed for a wide variety of infections every day. Their undoubted popularity relies upon lesser allergenic and toxicity risks as well as a broad spectrum of activity.

Selection of antibiotic-resistant bacterial populations in the dairy cow gut following intramuscular ceftiofur treatment for metritis

Journal of Dairy Science
: Third-generation cephalosporins such as ceftiofur are critically important antibiotics because human pathogens with resistance to these drugs contribute to high mortality rates.
