Journal ArticleDOI
Resistance to penicillin and cephalosporin and mortality from severe pneumococcal pneumonia in Barcelona, Spain.
Roman Pallares,Josefina Liñares,Miquel Vadillo,Carmen Cabellos,Frederic Manresa,Pedro F. Viladrich,Rogelio Martín,Francesc Gudiol +7 more
TL;DR: Current levels of resistance to penicillin and cephalosporin by S. pneumoniae are not associated with increased mortality in patients with pneumococcal pneumonia, and these antibiotics remain the therapy of choice for this disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emerging Importance of Multidrug-Resistant Acinetobacter Species and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia as Pathogens in Seriously Ill Patients: Geographic Patterns, Epidemiological Features, and Trends in the SENTRY Antimicrobial Surveillance Program (1997–1999)
Ana Cristina Gales,Ana Cristina Gales,R N Jones,K. R. Forward,Josefina Liñares,Helio S. Sader,Jan Verhoef +6 more
TL;DR: The geographic differences in resistance patterns among Acinetobacter species and S. maltophilia isolates observed in this study emphasize the importance of local surveillance in determining the most adequate therapy for acinetobacterial infections and the possible clonal, epidemic nature of occurrence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathogenesis of catheter sepsis: a prospective study with quantitative and semiquantitative cultures of catheter hub and segments.
TL;DR: The catheter hub is the most common site of origin of organisms causing catheter tip infection and bacteremia in patients on total parenteral nutrition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk factors and response to antibiotic therapy in adults with bacteremic pneumonia caused by penicillin-resistant pneumococci.
Roman Pallares,Francisco Gudiol,Josefina Liñares,Javier Ariza,Gabriel Rufi,Luis Murgui,Jordi Dorca,Pedro F. Viladrich +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that pneumonia due to penicillin-resistant pneumococci may occur more often in a population with some identifiable risk factors, and may respond to intravenous high-dosePenicillin therapy if MICs are less than or equal to 2 micrograms per milliliter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology and Successful Control of a Large Outbreak Due to Klebsiella pneumoniae Producing ExtendedSpectrum β-Lactamases
Carmen Peña,Miquel Pujol,Carmen Ardanuy,A. Ricart,Roman Pallares,Josefina Liñares,Javier Ariza,Francisco Gudiol +7 more
TL;DR: An outbreak due to extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producingKlebsiella pneumoniae (ESBL-KP) was detected from May 1993 to June 1995, and primary bacteremia caused by ESBL- KP was the most frequent infection.
