Randomized Trial of Rapid Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction–Based Blood Culture Identification and Susceptibility Testing
Ritu Banerjee,Christine B Teng,Scott A. Cunningham,Sherry M. Ihde,James M. Steckelberg,James P. Moriarty,Nilay Shah,Jayawant N. Mandrekar,Robin Patel +8 more
TL;DR: A prospective randomized controlled trial evaluating outcomes associated with rapid multiplex PCR detection of bacteria, fungi, and resistance genes directly from positive BCBs found that rmPCR reported with templated comments reduced treatment of contaminants and use of broad-spectrum antimicrobials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Timing of susceptibility-based antifungal drug administration in patients with Candida bloodstream infection: correlation with outcomes
Shellee A. Grim,Karen Berger,Christine B Teng,Sandeep Gupta,Jennifer E. Layden,William M. Janda,Nina M. Clark +6 more
TL;DR: Candida bloodstream infection is associated with high mortality, despite timely receipt of appropriate antifungal therapy, despite the impact of timing on patient survival.
Journal ArticleDOI
Safety and clinical outcomes of carbapenem de-escalation as part of an antimicrobial stewardship programme in an ESBL-endemic setting
Kaung Yuan Lew,Tat Ming Ng,Michelle Tan,Sock Hoon Tan,Ee Ling Lew,Li Min Ling,Brenda Ang,David C. Lye,Christine B Teng +8 more
TL;DR: This study suggests that the ASP-guided de-escalation of carbapenems led to comparable clinical success, fewer adverse effects and a lower incidence of the development of resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonconcordance with Surgical Site Infection Prevention Guidelines and Rates of Surgical Site Infections for General Surgical, Neurological, and Orthopedic Procedures
Barnaby Edward Young,Tat Ming Ng,Christine B Teng,Christine B Teng,Brenda Ang,Hwei Yee Tai,David C. Lye,David C. Lye +7 more
TL;DR: Elective general surgical, neurological, and orthopedic procedures requiring antibiotic prophylaxis from a 3-month period were retrospectively studied to determine concordance with SSI prevention guidelines and to identify factors which predicted the development of SSIs.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Multicenter Case-Case Control Study for Risk Factors and Outcomes of Extensively Drug-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Bacteremia
TL;DR: Use of CVC and broad spectrum antibiotics were unique risk factors of XDR A. baumannii bacteremia and effective antimicrobial stewardship together with use of a CVC bundle may reduce the incidence of these infections.
