Difficult-to-Treat Resistance in Gram-negative Bacteremia at 173 US Hospitals: Retrospective Cohort Analysis of Prevalence, Predictors, and Outcome of Resistance to All First-line Agents.

TLDR
Nonsusceptibility to first-line antibiotics is associated with decreased survival in GNBSIs and DTR is a simple bedside prognostic measure of treatment-limiting coresistance.
Abstract
Background Resistance to all first-line antibiotics necessitates the use of less effective or more toxic “reserve” agents Gram-negative bloodstream infections (GNBSIs) harboring such difficult-to-treat resistance (DTR) may have higher mortality than phenotypes that allow for ≥1 active first-line antibiotic

Treatment of Infections Due to MDR Gram-Negative Bacteria.

TL;DR: Treatment of severe MDR-GNB infections in critically ill patients in the near future will require an expert and complex clinical reasoning, of course taking into account the peculiar characteristics of the target population, but also the need for adequate empirical coverage and the more and more specific enzyme-level activity of novel antimicrobials with respect to the different resistance mechanisms.

Prevalence of Antibiotic-Resistant Pathogens in Culture-Proven Sepsis and Outcomes Associated With Inadequate and Broad-Spectrum Empiric Antibiotic Use.

TL;DR: In this study, broad-spectrum antibiotics were frequently administered to patients with community-onset sepsis without resistant organisms, and these therapies were associated with worse outcomes.

Bloodstream infections in critically ill patients: an expert statement

TL;DR: Initial antimicrobial dosing should take into account the pharmacokinetic alterations commonly observed in ICU patients, with a loading dose in case of sepsis or septic shock, with up-to-date expert statements.
Journal ArticleDOI

OUP accepted manuscript

TL;DR: The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) is committed to providing up-to-date guidance on the treatment of antimicrobial-resistant infections as discussed by the authors , including those caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-E), carbapenem-resistant enterobactorales (CRE), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa with difficultto-treat resistance (DTR-P).

Coding algorithms for defining comorbidities in ICD-9-CM and ICD-10 administrative data.

TL;DR: A multistep process to develop ICD-10 coding algorithms to define Charlson and Elixhauser comorbidities in administrative data and assess the performance of the resulting algorithms found these newly developed algorithms produce similar estimates ofComorbidity prevalence in administrativeData, and may outperform existing I CD-9-CM coding algorithms.

From the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

TL;DR: This report summarizes the clinical features of these cases and the epidemiologic investigations by the Texas Department of Health and the New Jersey State Department of health and Senior Services, which indicated that a bat-associated variant of the rabies virus was responsible for infection in both cases.

Global spread of Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae.

TL;DR: These resistance traits have been identified among nosocomial and community-acquired infections and are being investigated for use in drug discovery and development.
