Marlieke E. A. de Kraker,Martin Wolkewitz,Peter Davey,Walter Koller,Jutta Berger,Jan Nagler,Claudine Icket,Smilja Kalenić,Jasminka Horvatić,Harald Seifert,Achim J. Kaasch,O.

Ghita,Michelle Noble,Jana Kolman,Stanko Grabljevec,David P. J. Turner,Louise Lansbury,Hajo Grundmann +27 more
TL;DR: Irrespective of methicillin susceptibility, S. aureus BSI has a significant impact on morbidity and mortality and in addition, MRSA BSI leads to a fatal outcome more frequently than MSSA B SI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Burden of antimicrobial resistance in European hospitals: excess mortality and length of hospital stay associated with bloodstream infections due to Escherichia coli resistant to third-generation cephalosporins
M. de Kraker,Martin Wolkewitz,Peter Davey,Walter Koller,Johannes Berger,Jan Nagler,Claudine Icket,Smilja Kalenić,Jasminka Horvatić,Harald Seifert,Achim J. Kaasch,O. Paniara,Athina Argyropoulou,Maria Bompola,Edmond Smyth,M. Skally,Annibale Raglio,Uga Dumpis,A. Melbarde Kelmere,Michael Borg,Deborah Xuereb,Mihaela C. Ghita,M. Noble,Jana Kolman,Stanko Grabljevec,Dunja Turner,Louise Lansbury,Hajo Grundmann +27 more
TL;DR: Morbidity and mortality attributable to third-generation-cephalosporin-resistant E. coli BSI is significant and if prevailing resistance trends continue, high societal and economic costs can be expected.
Journal ArticleDOI
A twelve-year review of central nervous system bacterial abscesses; presentation and aetiology
M. Roche,Hilary Humphreys,Hilary Humphreys,Edmond Smyth,J. Phillips,J. Phillips,R. Cunney,R. Cunney,E. McNamara,E. McNamara,Donncha F. O’Brien,O. McArdle +11 more
TL;DR: There was a relatively high incidence of polymicrobial infection but the number of specimens with anaerobes was small, which may be because of the use of empiric metronidazole before surgical intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Third-generation cephalosporin resistance among Gram-negative bacilli causing meningitis in neurosurgical patients: significant challenges in ensuring effective antibiotic therapy
TL;DR: Although the mortality directly related to GNBM was low, the emergence of strains resistant to third-generation cephalosporins represents a therapeutic challenge, but more studies are required to determine the optimal management of this difficult condition.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of blood culture reporting and clinical liaison on the empiric treatment of bacteraemia.
TL;DR: Early reporting of Gram stain results from blood cultures, combined with early clinical liaison, results in more rational and cost effective treatment in patients with bacteraemia.
