Kristofer Wollein Waldetoft. "It's also key to the management ofantibiotic resistanceby protecting patients from the acquisition of resistant strains. The importance of hygiene, especially hand hygiene, is well appreciated by health care professionals, but compliance has nonetheless been shown...
Antibiotic use and population ecology: How you can reduce your "resistance footprint". CMAJ 2009; 180(4):416-421Patrick DM,Hutchinson J.Antibiotic use and population ecology:how you can reduce your"resistance footprint".Canadian Medical Association Journal. 2009...
Antibiotic resistance has spread around the world, and it's making some diseases, such asmeningitisor pneumonia, more difficult to treat. You might need stronger, more expensive drugs. Or you might need to take them longer. You also might not get well as quickly, or you could develop other...
Effects of interventions to control the dissemination of antibiotic resistance in the environment were primarily studied in strategy S2. A partial efficiency of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) to reduce antibiotic resistance in treated effluent was reported in 118 high validity studies. In spite of...
“Vaccines are an effective tool to decrease the number of infectious diseases. They directly reduce the need for widespreadantibiotic use and thus prevent the emergence of resistance to antibiotics. We have a great One Health AMR team,...
Procalcitonin-guided algorithm to reduce length of antibiotic therapy in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock Procalcitonin (PCT)-protocols to guide antibiotic treatment in severe infections are known to be effective. But less is known about the long-term effects o... A Hohn,S Schroeder,...
If we can disarm harmful bacteria without killing them, we may be able to reduce antibiotic resistance, take the strain off these overworked drugs and leave our helpful inhabitants be. Doing so may even mean resurrecting some forgotten strategies from the past. If the 20th century was ...
Turku in Finland and colleagues, being presented at this year's European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases (ECCMID) in Copenhagen, Denmark (15-18 April), highlights the urgent need for targeted interventions to reduceantibiotic resistancetailored to different demographics and ...
The gut microbiome has an important role in human health. In addition to its structural and metabolic functions, it protects the host against colonization by many external pathogens.8It is also a known reservoir for a wide variety of antibiotic resistance genes, from the resident “...
Here are five reasons collaborative efforts are key to addressing AMR: 01. New antibiotics are urgently needed; however, there are relatively few in development. The future of antibiotic innovation is at serious risk. Major scientific, regulatory and economic challenges discourage innovation in...
