TL;DR: It is confirmed that MRSA infections in the community have been increasing in Asian countries and data suggest that various MRSA clones have spread between the community and hospitals as well as between countries.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Multilocus sequence typing showed that the spread of the Taiwan19F clone and the Spain23F clone could be one of the major reasons for the rapid increases in antimicrobial resistance among S. pneumoniae isolates in Asia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changing Trends in Antimicrobial Resistance and Serotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae Isolates in Asian Countries: an Asian Network for Surveillance of Resistant Pathogens (ANSORP) Study

TL;DR: The most remarkable findings about the epidemiology of S. pneumoniae in Asian countries after the introduction of PCV7 were the high prevalence of macrolide resistance and MDR and distinctive increases in serotype 19A.
Journal ArticleDOI
High prevalence of multidrug-resistant nonfermenters in hospital-acquired pneumonia in Asia.

TL;DR: These isolates are highly resistant to major antimicrobial agents, which could limit the therapeutic options in the clinical practice and significantly increases the likelihood of pneumonia-related mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI
