Frequency and antimicrobial susceptibility of bacterial agents causing peritoneal dialysis-peritonitis in a Brazilian single center over 20 years

Cogent Medicine, 2016
Peritonitis remains the main complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD). Antimicrobial therapy may be threatened by development of bacterial resistance, demanding continuous surveillance of infectious agents to improve empirical treatment. The aims of this

Comparative Evaluation of Vitek 2 and Etest versus Broth Microdilution for Ceftazidime/Avibactam and Ceftolozane/Tazobactam Susceptibility Testing of Enterobacterales and Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Antibiotics, 2022
Ceftazidime/avibactam (CZA) and ceftolozane/tazobactam (C/T) are novel antibiotics with activity against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative pathogens. Nevertheless, resistance to both agents has been reported emphasizing the need for accurate and widely ...

Comparison of Etest and broth microdilution for evaluating the susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae to ceftaroline and of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales and Pseudomonas aeruginosa to ceftazidime/avibactam

Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance, 2021
: Objectives: Decreased susceptibility to ceftazidime/avibactam (CZA) and ceftaroline (CPT) has been reported during antimicrobial resistance surveillance and therapy. Conventional laboratories are unable to provide timely susceptibility testing for CZA

Use of the cefepime-clavulanate ESBL Etest for detection of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases in AmpC co-producing bacteria

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2009
Background: Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) may not always be detected in routine susceptibility tests. This study reports the performance of the cefepime-clavulanate ESBL Etest for the detection of ESBLs in Enterobacteriaceae, including those
