TLDR
A group of international experts came together through a joint initiative by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to create a standardized international terminology with which to describe acquired resistance profiles in Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus spp.

Antimicrobial resistance in coagulase-positive staphylococci isolated from companion animals in Australia: A one year study.

TL;DR: For example, this paper found that methicillin-resistant coagulase-positive staphylococci (CoPS) have become increasingly recognised as opportunistic pathogens that limit therapeutic options in companion animals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nosocomial bacterial infections and their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns among patients in Ugandan intensive care units: a cross sectional study

TL;DR: There is a need for development of strong policies on antibiotic stewardship, antimicrobial surveillance and infection control to help guide empirical antibiotic therapy and prevent the spread of MDR bacteria and antibiotic drug resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epidemiology and clinical outcomes of multidrug-resistant, gram-negative bloodstream infections in a European tertiary pediatric hospital during a 12-month period.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates the high mortality of hospital-acquired MDRGN bacteremia in children and study of novel antibiotics active against Gram-negative bacteria should include children early in the clinical trial development programs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular epidemiology of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli in the community and hospital in Korea: emergence of ST131 producing CTX-M-15

TL;DR: A hospital epidemic caused by the dissemination of an epidemic strain, ST131-PFGE type 10, characterized by multidrug resistance and co-producing both CTX-Ms with OXA-1 or TEM-1b is identified, suggesting the widespread of this epidemic clone in Korea.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antibiotic resistance among Escherichia coli isolates from stool samples of children aged 3 to 14 years from Ujjain, India.

TL;DR: Antibiotic resistance and cross-resistance were common in E. coli from stools of children from Ujjain, Central India, and resistance rates were associated with maternal literacy.

Antimicrobial-Resistant Pathogens Associated with Healthcare- Associated Infections: Summary of Data Reported to the National Healthcare Safety Network at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2009-2010

TL;DR: The frequency of selected antimicrobial resistance patterns among pathogens causing device-associated and procedure-associated healthcare-associated infections reported by hospitals in the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of mortality associated with methicillin-resistant and methicillin-susceptible staphylococcus aureus bacteremia: A meta-analysis

TL;DR: A meta-analysis was performed to summarize the impact of methicillin-resistance on mortality in Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia and explored the reasons for heterogeneity by means of subgroup analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae: an emerging public-health concern

TL;DR: More rapid diagnostic testing of ESBL-producing bacteria and the possible modification of guidelines for community-onset bacteraemia associated with UTIs are required.
Journal ArticleDOI

The influence of inadequate antimicrobial treatment of bloodstream infections on patient outcomes in the ICU setting

TL;DR: The data suggest that clinical efforts should be aimed at reducing the administration of inadequate antimicrobial treatment to hospitalized patients with bloodstream infections, especially individuals infected with antibiotic-resistant bacteria and Candida species.
