Multidrug-resistant strains of Citrobacter have emerged, which carry Amp-C β-lactamase (Amp-C), broad-spectrum β-lactamase, extended-spectrum (ESBL), and other resistance mechanisms. These are associated with a higher rate in-hospital mortality. The object this study is to determine the mortality risk factors, susceptibility pattern antibiotics, prevalence genes in patients freundii bacteremia. From January 2009 December 2014, blood isolates C. were collected MacKay Memorial Hospital,...
Background/Purpose . Splenic abscess is rare with potentially life-threatening evolution. The aim of this study to review the clinical features, microbiological etiologies, treatment, and outcomes patients splenic abscess. Methods We reviewed admitted suspected made diagnosis characteristics, underlying diseases, treatment course, organism spectra, number size, therapeutic methods, outcome at a tertiary medical center in Taiwan over period 5 years were analyzed. Results Of 16 abscess, male...
This study aimed to investigate the in vitro susceptibilities of carbapenem-non-susceptible Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CNSPA) and Acinetobacter baumannii (CNSAB) isolates cefiderocol, novel β-lactamase inhibitor (BLI) combinations, new tetracycline analogues, other comparative antibiotics.In total, 405 non-duplicate bacteremic CNSPA (n = 150) CNSAB 255) were collected from 16 hospitals Taiwan between 2018 2020. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) determined using broth microdilution...
HIV acquisition has been found to be associated with increased risk of cardiometabolic syndrome in the past. In this study, we attempt delineate factors metabolic among persons living a single medical center Taiwan using mostly integrase inhibitors-based regimen as HAART. A cross-sectional study involving all people (PLWH) aged ≥ 18 years who visited MacKay Memorial Hospital, Taipei, between September 7, 2022 January 31, 2023 was performed. modified National Cholesterol Education Program ATP...
This study investigated the impact of implementing ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) bundle care on rates VAP in intensive units (ICUs) Taiwan. A total 10 ICUs (bed number, 170), including surgical (SICUs) (n = 7), cardiovascular/surgical (CV/S-ICUs) 1), and medical (MICUs) 2) from hospitals (7 center 3 regional hospitals) were enrolled this quality-improvement project. was divided into pre-intervention phase (1st January, 2012–31st July, 2013) intervention August, 2013–31st October,...
This study was intended to investigate the impact of implementation catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CA-UTI) bundle care on incidence CA-UTI in high-risk units. Thirteen units, including medical (n = 5), surgical 3), cardiac intensive units 2), respiratory centers and ward 1) were included this quality-improvement project. divided into pre-intervention phase (from January 1 July 31) post-intervention August October 2013. The decreased by 22.7%, from 3.86 2.98 per 1000...
The objective of this study was to investigate the role sulbactam in treatment pan-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (PDRAB). We studied 89 patients with PDRAB infection treated different antibiotic regimens. Group A (n = 39) were carbapenem and group B 30) second third generation cephalosporins, antipseudomonas penicillins, or fluoroquinolones aminoglycosides. also MICs for 48 strains by using antimicrobial agents without sulbactam. clinical outcomes 2 groups did not differ...
This study assessed the effect of central line bundle on rate line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) in intensive care units (ICUs) Taiwan. national was conducted 27 ICUs with 404 beds total, including 15 medical ICUs, 11 surgical and one mixed ICU. The period divided into two phases: a pre-intervention (between June 1, 2011 October 31, 2011) intervention phase December 2012). Outcome variables, CLABSI rates (per 1000 catheter-days) catheter utilization rates, were measured. overall...
The aim of this study was to investigate the trends in serotypes and vitro antimicrobial susceptibility Streptococcus pneumoniae causing adult invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) dalbavancin, telavancin, tedizolid, eravacycline, omadacycline other comparator antibiotics from 2017-2020 following implementation 13-valent conjugate vaccine (PCV-13) during COVID-19 (coronavirus 2019) pandemic.During period, 237 S. isolates were collected non-duplicate patients, covering 15.0% IPD cases Taiwan....
