Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of azithromycin and clarithromycin therapy on pharyngeal carriage of macrolide-resistant streptococci in healthy volunteers: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study
Surbhi Malhotra-Kumar,Christine Lammens,Samuel Coenen,Samuel Coenen,Koen Van Herck,Herman Goossens,Herman Goossens +6 more
TL;DR: This study shows that macrolides use is the single most important driver of the emergence of macrolide resistance in vivo, and Physicians prescribing antibiotics should take into account the striking ecological side-effects of such antibiotics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Collateral damage from oral ciprofloxacin versus nitrofurantoin in outpatients with urinary tract infections: a culture-free analysis of gut microbiota
Andrew J. Stewardson,Andrew J. Stewardson,Nadia Gaïa,Patrice Francois,Surbhi Malhotra-Kumar,Cécile Delemont,B Martinez de Tejada,Jacques Schrenzel,Stéphan Juergen Harbarth,Vladimir Lazarevic,Saturn Wp,Wp Study Groups +11 more
TL;DR: This study supports use of nitrofurantoin over fluoroquinolones for treatment of uncomplicated UTIs to minimize perturbation of intestinal microbiota.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decontamination Strategies and Bloodstream Infections With Antibiotic-Resistant Microorganisms in Ventilated Patients: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Bastiaan H J Wittekamp,Nienke L. Plantinga,Ben S. Cooper,Joaquín López-Contreras,Pere Coll,Jordi Mancebo,Matt P. Wise,Matt Morgan,Pieter Depuydt,Jerina Boelens,T. Dugernier,Valérie Verbelen,Philippe G. Jorens,Walter Verbrugghe,Surbhi Malhotra-Kumar,Pierre Damas,Cécile Meex,Kris Leleu,Anne-Marie Van Den Abeele,Ana Filipa Gomes Pimenta de Matos,Sara Fernández Méndez,Andrea Vergara Gomez,Viktorija Tomic,Franc Šifrer,Esther Villarreal Tello,Jesús Ruiz Ramos,Irene Aragao,Claudia C. dos Santos,Roberta H. M. Sperning,Patrizia Coppadoro,Giuseppe Nardi,C. Brun-Buisson,Marc J. M. Bonten +32 more
TL;DR: Among patients receiving mechanical ventilation in ICUs with moderate to high antibiotic resistance prevalence, use of CHX mouthwash, SOD, or SDD was not associated with reductions in ICU-acquired bloodstream infections caused by MDRGNB compared with standard care.
Journal ArticleDOI
European Surveillance of Antimicrobial Consumption (ESAC): outpatient macrolide, lincosamide and streptogramin (MLS) use in Europe
Samuel Coenen,Matus Ferech,Surbhi Malhotra-Kumar,Erik Hendrickx,Carl Suetens,Herman Goossens,Herman Goossens +6 more
TL;DR: The observed differences between European countries in the levels of MLS use and the extreme seasonal variations in their use suggest that this class of antibiotics is prescribed inappropriately in many countries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Consolidating and exploring antibiotic resistance gene data resources
Basil Britto Xavier,Anupam J. Das,Guy Cochrane,Sandra De Ganck,Samir Kumar-Singh,Frank Møller Aarestrup,Herman Goossens,Surbhi Malhotra-Kumar +7 more
TL;DR: Existing AR gene data resources are explored in order to make them more visible to the clinical microbiology community, to identify their limitations, and to propose potential solutions.
