Filter by:The BACILO study was designed with the objective of having robust data on local epidemiological bacterial colonisation information on bile cultures with patients taken to laparoscopic cholecystectomy in our institution to find which predictive factors are associated with culture positivity and antibiotic resistance patterns. Secondary endpoints include evaluating demographical, clinical and surgical variables and establishing comparison between both positive and negative bile cultures and between antibiotic sensitive and resistant microorganism strain isolations.
Humans in contact with animals such as dog owners, may be at risk of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) acquisition. This is the central issue to be investigated in DYASPEO
Diabetes affects 463 million population of the world. Diabetic foot is one of the complications of uncontrolled diabetes which can lead to amputation in 5- 24% of non-healing diabetic foot ulcers. Every 30 seconds a lower extremity is amputated in the world due to diabetes. This is a retrospective study conducted in Balochistan, Pakistan. In this study investigators explored the risk factor of amputation in diabetic patients. Baseline characteristics, clinical profile, and lab tests were retrieved retrospectively and presented in the forms of tables. Investigators compared the categorical variables in amputees vs non-amputees and analyzed associated risk factors of amputation.
Surgical removal of impacted mandibular wisdom teeth is a frequent intervention, usually accompanied by unpleasant sequelae (pain, swelling and trismus) in the postoperative period, sometimes even with possibly serious complications (dry socket/alveolar osteitis and postoperative infection at the surgical site - SSI). It is therefore advisable to use various medications and procedures to prevent or alleviate the occurrence of these sequelae and complications. Accordingly, there is a debate in the literature on the expedience of perioperative (prophylactic) use of antibiotics. It is interesting that numerous articles recommending perioperative (prophylactic) antibiotic use to patients undergoing the impacted mandibular third molar surgery may be found, as well as those providing arguments for the disagreement with such an approach, considering that its benefits do not outweigh the risks of adverse side effects, especially due to growing resistance of microorganisms towards antibiotics, which is a possible serious threat to global health. Concerning the perioperative (prophylactic) use of antibiotics for this indication, consensus has not yet been reached, and neither of the views has been verified by convincing scientific evidence. Having the aforementioned dilemma in mind, the main endpoint of the study was to determine the validity of perioperative (prophylactic) use of antibiotics as to alleviate customary sequelae and possible complications after surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars and, at the same time, the effectiveness of newer antibiotics (moxifloxacin and cefixime) when used for this purpose. Moreover, microbiological investigations of susceptibility of the isolated microorganisms to antibiotics used in this research were performed, which could verify the clinically obtained results. With this in mind, two major contributions, based on scientifically verified results, could be expected from the research: (1) confirmation or refuting the validity of perioperative (prophylactic) antibiotic use to control sequelae or complications that could follow the impacted mandibular third molar surgery; and (2) confirmation of the efficacy of fluoroquinolones (moxifloxacin) and cephalosporins (cefixime) in controlling odontogenic infections.
Hospital-acquired bloodstream infection (BSI) is serious care problem worldwide associated with significant morbidity and mortality. However, only few nationwide studies have focused on the incidence of BSI, and its results were often inconsistent. The objective of this study was to analyze bloodstream infections in patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit of the tertiary, university hospital. Special attention was put on the etiology of the infections, the antimicrobial susceptibility/resistance of the isolated pathogens, as well as the incidence of central vein catheters infections in the analyzed population. Data were collected in the intensive care unit of the Military Institute of Medicine, Warsaw, Poland, between January, 1, 2007 and December, 31, 2019.
The aim of this study is to determine the pattern of antibiotic prescription for children among a group of pediatric dentists
a clinical trial designed to prospectively assess the safety and effectiveness of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) prior to allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell translation (HSCT) in patients contaminated with antibiotic-resistant pathogens (ARP)
This nasopharyngeal (NP) carriage surveillance study was requested by the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products as a post-licensing commitment to determine whether the use of the pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) including 7 then 13 valents (introduced in 2001 and 2010, respectively) caused a shift in the distribution of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes in children with acute otitis media and modified the resistance of this bacterial species to antibiotics.
Chronic diarrhea is a common condition and a key symptom in many disorders. It is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and one of the most common reasons for referral to a gastroenterology clinic.The prevalence varies depending on population and the definition of diarrhea used. It affects approximately 5% of the population at any given point in time, although the exact prevalence is unknown. Diarrhea is associated with 4 pathophysiological mechanisms: osmotic, secretory, exudative and altered motility. It is more useful to classify patients presenting with symptoms of diarrhea according to ''functional'' or ''organic'' characteristics. It is usually difficult to make a reliable differentiation between organic and functional causes in patients with chronic diarrhea based only on history and physical examination . The standard evaluation of patients with chronic diarrhea that begins with a detailed history, a careful physical examination and then basic diagnostic tests is critical for optimal treatment and prevention. Initially, thought needs to exclude several other possibilities as (a) fecal incontinence masquerading as diarrhea, (b) iatrogenic diarrhea due to drugs, surgery, or therapeutic radiation, (c) chronic infections, and (d) irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D). The detection of a broad array of potentially offending agents has traditionally required a combination of microbiologic approaches, including bacterial culture, antigen detection, microscopy, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The new multiplex PCR-based panels have several advantages over conventional methods including (i) reduced sample volume requirements, (ii) broad coverage without the need to select specific tests, (iii) enhanced ability to detect coinfections (iv) increased sensitivity and specificity as high as 97-100% and (v) higher throughput.The food and drug administration (FDA) cleared and recommended the use of FilmArray GI panel (BioFire Diagnostics), which targets 22 analytes (bacteria with bacterial toxin, viruses, and parasites)
To investigate the use of antibiotic prophylaxis in patients undergoing TURP and TURB. The investigators set up a prospective, randomized controlled trial in which (after exclusion of risk factors) patients will be randomized in receiving levofloxacin (Tavanic) orally or no antibiotics. The exclusion criteria for TURP are a pre-operative transurethral catheter or > 100 urinary white blood cells in the pre-operative urine sample. The exclusion criteria for TURB are a pre-op catheter or clinical signs of infection.
