Trends in Enterobacteriaceae Resistance Patterns: A Nine‐Year Retrospective Study From North Lebanon

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Enterobacteriaceae poses a critical threat to global health, particularly in regions where antibiotic misuse and limited surveillance prevail. Intensive care units (ICUs) act as focal points for resistance emergence and dissemination. This study aimed to evaluate long‐term resistance trends

Incidence, Mortality, and Determinants of Ventilator‐Associated Pneumonia Among Pediatric Patients at the National Referral Hospital, Bhutan: A Prospective Cohort Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Ventilator‐associated pneumonia (VAP) is a common healthcare‐associated infection in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs). In Bhutan, baseline data on VAP are limited. This study aimed to determine the incidence, mortality, and factors associated with VAP among mechanically ventilated pediatric patients at the Jigme Dorji ...

Clinical impact of vancomycin-resistant enterococci [PDF]

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2003
In humans, vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) most commonly result in intestinal colonization, which does not result in symptoms, may persist for a long time and serves as a reservoir for transmission of VRE to other patients. Certain VRE-colonized patients are at risk of infection, including haematology and oncology patients, patients in intensive
