Journal ArticleDOI
Nosocomial outbreak of infection with pan-drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in a tertiary care university hospital.
Raquel Valencia,Luis A. Arroyo,Manuel Conde,Josefa M. Aldana,María-José Torres,Felipe Fernández-Cuenca,José Garnacho-Montero,José Miguel Cisneros,C. Ortiz,Jerónimo Pachón,Javier Aznar +10 more
TL;DR: The first nosocomial outbreak of infection with pan–drug-resistant (including colistin-resistant) Acinetobacter baumannii is described, to determine the risk factors associated with these types of infections, and their clinical impact.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection on the natural course of chronic parenterally acquired Hepatitis C
Armando Sánchez-Quijano,J. Andreu,F. Gavilán,F. Luque,M. A. Abad,B. Soto,J. Muñoz,Javier Aznar,Manuel Leal,Eduardo Lissen +9 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that HIV infection can alter the natural course of chronic parenterally acquired hepatitis C, causing an unusually rapid progression to cirrhosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of Real-Time PCR and Fluorimetry for Rapid Detection of Rifampin and Isoniazid Resistance-Associated Mutations in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
TL;DR: Overall, this pilot study demonstrated that real-time PCR coupled to fluorescence detection is the fastest available method for the detection of RMP and INH resistance-associated mutations in M. tuberculosis clinical isolates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sequential measurements of procalcitonin levels in diagnosing ventilator-associated pneumonia
P. Ramírez,Mercè García,Miquel Ferrer,Javier Aznar,Mauricio Valencia,Juan Sahuquillo,Rosario Menéndez,M A Asenjo,A. Torres +8 more
TL;DR: Combined values of Clinical Pulmonary Infection Scores and procalcitonin below the cut-off points excluded false-positive diagnoses of ventilator-associated pneumonia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reliability of the E-Test Method for Detection of Colistin Resistance in Clinical Isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii
Luis A. Arroyo,A. García-Curiel,María Eugenia Pachón-Ibáñez,Ana C. Llanos,Maite Ruiz,Jerónimo Pachón,Javier Aznar +6 more
TL;DR: The E-test to the broth microdilution method for testing the susceptibility of 115 clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii to colistin found poor concordance, particularly in extreme dilutions with higher MICs by the E- test method.
