Bacterial Pathogens Isolated from Patients with Bloodstream Infection: Frequencies of Occurrence and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Patterns from the SENTRY Antimicrobial Surveillance Program (United States and Canada, 1997)
TL;DR: Overall, U.S. isolates were considerably more resistant than those from Canada, and distinct differences were noted in the antimicrobial susceptibilities of several pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of Antimicrobial Resistance Among Respiratory Tract Isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae in North America: 1997 Results from the SENTRY Antimicrobial Surveillance Program
TL;DR: As part of the ongoing multinational SENTRY antimicrobial resistance surveillance program, a total of 1,047 respiratory tract isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae were collected between February and June 1997 and characterized in a central laboratory.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Bloodstream infection isolates from Latin America were uniformly more resistant to all classes of antimicrobial agents tested than were isolates of E. coli and Klebsiella species from Canada or the United States.
Journal ArticleDOI
Survey of blood stream infections attributable to gram-positive cocci: frequency of occurrence and antimicrobial susceptibility of isolates collected in 1997 in the United States, Canada, and Latin America from the SENTRY antimicrobial surveillance program
TL;DR: The results of this survey affirm the importance of Gram-positive cocci as causes of BSI in both North America and Latin America and demonstrate that important antimicrobial resistance exists among isolates of staphylococci, streptococci and enterococci from all three geographic regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factorial Experiments: Efficient Tools for Evaluation of Intervention Components
TL;DR: Investigators in preventive medicine and related areas should begin considering factorial experiments alongside other approaches, and experimental designs should be chosen from a resource management perspective.
