TL;DR: Policy makers need to support health-care facilities in interpreting guidance during a pandemic that will probably be characterised by fluctuating local incidence of SARS-CoV-2 to mitigate the impact of this pandemic on their workforce.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pleun Joppe van Duijn,Walter Verbrugghe,Philippe G. Jorens,Fabian Spöhr,Dirk Schedler,Maria Deja,Andreas Rothbart,Djillali Annane,Christine Lawrence,Jean Claude Nguyen Van,Benoit Misset,Matjaz Jereb,Katja Seme,Franc Šifrer,Viktorija Tomic,Francisco Estevez,Jandira Carneiro,Stéphan Juergen Harbarth,Marinus Johannes Cornelis Eijkemans,Marc J. M. Bonten,Marc J. M. Bonten,Herman Goossens,Surbhi Malhotra-Kumar,Christine Lammens,Jordi Vila,Ignaci Roca +25 more
TL;DR: Antibiotic cycling does not reduce the prevalence of carriage of antibiotic-resistant, Gram-negative bacteria in patients admitted to the ICU and there was no difference in all-cause in-ICU mortality between intervention periods.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Patients with influenza-like illness treated with oseltamivir recovered one day sooner on average than those managed by usual care alone, and older, sicker patients with comorbidities and longer previous symptom duration recovered 2-3 days sooner.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of colistin stability in agar and comparison of four methods for MIC testing of colistin
Agata Turlej-Rogacka,Basil Britto Xavier,Lore Janssens,Christine Lammens,Olympia Zarkotou,Spyros Pournaras,Herman Goossens,Surbhi Malhotra-Kumar +7 more
TL;DR: In the authors' hands, agar dilution was superior in terms of reproducibility and robustness, compared to broth dilution methods, for colistin MIC determination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of outpatient antibiotics for urinary tract infections on antimicrobial resistance among commensal Enterobacteriaceae: a multinational prospective cohort study
Andrew J. Stewardson,Jascha Vervoort,Niels Adriaenssens,Samuel Coenen,Maciek Godycki-Cwirko,Adam Kowalczyk,Benedikt Huttner,Christine Lammens,Surbhi Malhotra-Kumar,Herman Goossens,Stéphan Juergen Harbarth +10 more
TL;DR: These findings support avoidance of fluoroquinolones for first-line UTI therapy in primary care, and suggest potential for interventions that interrupt household circulation of resistant Enterobacteriaceae.
