Unlike the open communities it should be, and in some countries like the Netherlands [4] has been, possible to control the spread of resistance in hospitals. In accord with mathematical models [5], the frequency of colonization and infections with antibiotic-resistant bacteria in hospitals can ...
R. The epidemiology of antibiotic resistance in hospitals: paradoxes and prescriptions. Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA 97, 1938–1943 (2000). This article describes the mathematical modelling that is used to propose practical measures to control or reduce the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria ...
- Increased levels of antibiotic resistance (AMR) have been found in public settings such as train stations and shopping centres and areas in hospitals where the general public has easy access, posing a potential risk to public health, according to a new report just published in Nature Research...
Resistance to treatment is common with Acinetobacter; resistance can occur to initial therapies such as beta-lactams and carbapenems. Acinetobacter can be spread by direct contact and may be found on skin or in food, water, or soil. It can spread from hospitals and intensive care units (ICU)...
"Antibiotic use dropped by 40 percent by the end of last year," Xiao said, citing the national surveillance network of drug use linking large hospitals nationwide. A recent global review by the UK's Lord Jim O'Neill on anti-microbial resistance estimates that by 2050 antibiotic resistance coul...

However, GOLD warns for the presence of gram-negative bacterial infections in patients with frequent exacerbations, severe airflow limitation and/or need for mechanical ventilation [1]. The antimicrobial drug recommended by the Belgian Infectiology Guide based on national resistance is amoxicillin-...
This is occasioned by misuse of antibiotics.Methods: We did a systematic literature review to assess the prevalence of antibiotic resistance in major hospitals within the East African region.Results: 20 articles were included in this review; they were published between 1997 and 2013. Of the 20 ...
Antibiotic resistance, loss of susceptibility of bacteria to the killing (bacteriocidal) or growth-inhibiting (bacteriostatic) properties of an antibiotic agent. When a resistant strain of bacteria is the dominant strain in an infection, the infection ma
