Journal ArticleDOI
Survey of Infections Due to Staphylococcus Species: Frequency of Occurrence and Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Isolates Collected in the United States, Canada, Latin America, Europe, and the Western Pacific Region for the SENTRY Antimicrobial Surveillance Program, 1997–1999
Daniel J. Diekema,M. A. Pfaller,F. J. Schmitz,J. Smayevsky,Jan M. Bell,R N Jones,Mondell L. Beach +6 more
TL;DR: Given the increasing multidrug resistance among staphylococci and the possible emergence of vancomycin-resistant strains, global strategies are needed to control emergence and spread of multiply resistant staphlyococci.
Journal ArticleDOI
International surveillance of bloodstream infections due to Candida species: frequency of occurrence and in vitro susceptibilities to fluconazole, ravuconazole, and voriconazole of isolates collected from 1997 through 1999 in the SENTRY antimicrobial surveillance program.
Michael A. Pfaller,Daniel J. Diekema,R N Jones,Helio S. Sader,Ad C. Fluit,Richard J. Hollis,Shawn A. Messer +6 more
TL;DR: Observations suggest susceptibility patterns and trends among yeast isolates from BSI and raise additional questions that can be answered only by continued surveillance and clinical investigations of the type reported here (SENTRY Program).
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
Antifungal activities of posaconazole, ravuconazole, and voriconazole compared to those of itraconazole and amphotericin B against 239 clinical isolates of Aspergillus spp. and other filamentous fungi: report from SENTRY Antimicrobial Surveillance Program, 2000.
TL;DR: All three new triazoles demonstrated excellent activity (MIC, ≤1 μg/ml) against Aspergillus spp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Worldwide Prevalence of Antimicrobial Resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis in the SENTRY Antimicrobial Surveillance Program, 1997–1999
TL;DR: Resistance to several drugs continues to emerge among pneumococci worldwide, but more stable resistance patterns have been noted for H. influenzae and M. catarrhalis and continued surveillance of this pathogen group appears to be prudent.
