Relationship between Antibiotic Resistance, Biofilm Formation, and Biofilm-Specific Resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii

TL;DR: Results from this study imply that biofilm acts as a mechanism for bacteria to get a better survival, especially in isolates with resistance level not high enough, as well as improving understanding of these processes and providing novel insights in the therapeutics and prevention against A. baumannii biofilm-related infections.

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.
