Meropenem‐Heparin Lock Therapy for Ochrobactrum intermedium Catheter‐Related Bloodstream Infection in a Pediatric Hemodialysis Patient: A Case Report and Literature Review

Hemodialysis International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In pediatric hemodialysis patients with exhausted vascular access, managing rare pathogens like Ochrobactrum intermedium is challenging, often posing a dilemma between catheter removal and salvage attempts. There are few reports on the supported viability of meropenem‐heparin lock therapy for this purpose in pediatric patients. Case

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 ...
