Between May 2018 and February 2020, we recorded soft tissue and/or bone infections caused by gram-negative extensively drug-resistant (XDR) bacteria in 4.9% (13/266) of the admitted patients. The XDR bacteria identified among 12 patients in this case series were extended-spectrum β-lactamase...
In India, more than 58,000 children died in one year as a result of infection by resistant bacteria generally transmitted by their mothers [8,9]. There is a prediction that by 2050, 10 million deaths a year will be attributed to antimicrobial resistance, which means more deaths than cancer...
Unlike the outbreaks of diarrheal illnesses caused immediately after humans eat contaminated vegetables, the antibiotic-resistant bacteria can hide in the human intestines for months or even years before they cause an illness such as a urinary infection, said the study. "Our findings highlight the ...
Nevertheless, resistant bacteria in the environment constitute a serious public health problem. Once established there, they can infect humans directly, or they can be acquired from meat (via re-infection of food animals), from irrigated food crops or from drinking water [67, 69-72], ...

remain healthy. Unless they are actively causing an infection, there is no need to take antibiotics to eliminate these bacteria. Using antimicrobials unnecessarily increases resistance by eliminating sensitive bacteria and giving resistant and perhaps more virulent bacteria a chance to increase in number....

The extended-spectrum agents (mezlocillin and piperacillin) are unique in that they have greater activity against gram-negative bacteria, includingPseudomonas aeruginosa, a bacterium that often causes serious infection in people whoseimmune systemshave been weakened. They have decreased activity, however,...
Summary Hospital acquired infections (HAIs) caused by antibiotic resistant bacteria are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In recent decades the incidence of HAI with antibiotic resistant bacteria has increased remarkably. The percentages of antimicrobial resistance continued to increas...
The data also show that bacteria associated with long-term acute care hospitals are more likely to be antibiotic resistant than those acquired in short-stay acute care hospitals; and HAIs in adult healthcare settings are more likely to be resistant than those in pediatrics. NHSN collects and tra...
