Journal ArticleDOI

Risk factors for mortality in patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteremia; retrospective study of impact of combination antimicrobial therapy

TL;DR: Disease severity was a critical factor for mortality in patients with P. aeruginosa bacteremia and combination therapy had no significant effect on 14-day mortality compared with monotherapy, however, appropriate combination therapy showed a favorable effect on survival in Patients with febrile neutropenia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rates of fecal transmission of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae among patients in intensive care units in Korea.

TL;DR: The high prevalence of ESBL-E carriage on admission coupled with rare nosocomial transmission and the very low carriage rate of CRE, challenge the routine use of active surveillance in non-epidemic settings and will be critical for controlling the spread of CRE.
Journal ArticleDOI

Direct Identification of Urinary Tract Pathogens From Urine Samples Using the Vitek MS System Based on Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry

TL;DR: Vitek MS showed high rate of accuracy for the identification of GNB in urine specimens (≥105 CFU/mL) and could become a rapid and accurate diagnostic method for urinary tract infection caused by GNB.
Journal ArticleDOI

Direct Identification and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing of Bacteria From Positive Blood Culture Bottles by Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry and the Vitek 2 System

TL;DR: This simple and cost-effective sample preparation method gives reliable results for the direct identification and AST of bacteria and should be further improved for the identification of streptococci and coagulase-negative staphylococci.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative Evaluation of Seegene Allplex Gastrointestinal, Luminex xTAG Gastrointestinal Pathogen Panel, and BD MAX Enteric Assays for Detection of Gastrointestinal Pathogens in Clinical Stool Specimens

TL;DR: These multiplex molecular assays appear to be promising tools for the detection and identification of multiple gastrointestinal pathogens simultaneously, however, careful interpretation of positive results for multiple pathogens is required.
