Infections due to antibiotic-resistant bacteria are threatening modern health care. However, estimating their incidence, complications, and attributable mortality is challenging. We aimed estimate the burden of infections caused by public concern in countries EU European Economic Area (EEA) 2015, measured number cases, deaths, disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs).We estimated incidence with 16 antibiotic resistance-bacterium combinations from Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Network...
Based on data collected by the European Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Network (EARS-Net) and former EARSS, present study describes trends in antimicrobial susceptibility patterns occurrence of invasive infections caused Escherichia coli Staphylococcus aureus period from 2002 to 2009. results 198 laboratories 22 countries reporting continuously these two microorganisms during entire were included analysis. The number bloodstream E. increased remarkably 71% period, while S. 34%. At...
After an outbreak of Chikungunya infection in Emilia-Romagna Region (North-eastern Italy), a survey was performed to estimate the seroprevalence antibody virus and proportion asymptomatic infections, identify factors associated with infection, evaluate performance surveillance system. The method used on random sample residents village largest number reported cases. prevalence 10.2% (33 325), being higher older people males, lower when window screens insect repellents were used. Only 18%...
To investigate determinants of antibiotic prescription in paediatric care, as a first step multilevel intervention to improve prescribing for common respiratory tract infections (RTIs) northern Italian region with high rate. A two-step survey was performed: phase I, knowledge, and attitudes were explored involving all family hospital paediatricians Emilia-Romagna sample parents. In II, patient care practices stratified random visits, both hospitals physician's clinics; parent expectations...
The European Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Network (EARS-Net) collects data on carbapenem resistance from invasive bacterial infections. Increasing percentages of in K. pneumoniae isolates were reported progressively more countries Europe between 2005 and 2010. A trend analysis showed increasing trends for Greece, Cyprus, Hungary Italy (p < 0.01). EARS-Net isolates, which likely correspond to a fraction the total number reports community cases suggest that dissemination...

Following the rapid increase of infections due to carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) in Italy, national surveillance bloodstream (BSI) CPE (Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli) was instituted 2013. All CPE-BSI cases reported years 2014-17 were analysed order investigate incidence rate (IR), trend, main individual characteristics enzymes involved resistance. Throughout this period, 7,632 (IR: 3.14/100,000 inhabitants) from all 21 regions autonomous provinces with an...
BackgroundInvasive infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus have high clinical and epidemiological relevance. It is therefore important to monitor the S. trends using suitable methods.AimThe study aimed describe of bloodstream (BSI) meticillin-resistant (MRSA) meticillin-susceptible (MSSA) in European Union (EU) Economic Area (EEA).MethodsAnnual data on BSI from 2005 2018 were obtained Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Network (EARS-Net). Trends assessed at EU/EEA level adjusting for...
Recent data from the European Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Network (EARS-Net) show a large increase of +57% in Acinetobacter species bloodstream infections Union and Economic Area first years COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2021) compared with 2018-2019. Most were resistant to carbapenems, intensive care units, countries ≥ 50% carbapenem resistance spp. This highlights requirement for reinforced preparedness infection prevention control Europe.
Candida auris is an emerging fungus that represents a serious health threat globally. In Italy, the first case was detected in July 2019. Then, one reported to Ministry of Health (MoH) on January 2020. Nine months later, huge number cases were northern Italy. Overall, 361 17 healthcare facilities between 2019 and December 2022 Liguria, Piedmont, Emilia-Romagna, Veneto regions, including 146 (40.4%) deaths. The majority (91.8%) considered as colonised. Only had history travel abroad....
<b>Objectives</b> To test the hypothesis that a multifaceted, local public campaign could be feasible and influence antibiotic prescribing for outpatients. <b>Design</b> Community level, controlled, non-randomised trial. <b>Setting</b> Provinces of Modena Parma in Emilia-Romagna, northern Italy, November 2011 to February 2012. <b>Population</b> 1 150 000 residents (intervention group) 3 250 provinces same region but where no had been implemented (control group). <b>Interventions</b> Campaign...
In this study we report the detection of recently described mcr-4 gene in two human isolates Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. The strains were isolated from faecal samples Italian patients with gastroenteritis, collected 2016. identified genes (variant mcr-4.2) differed originally a strain swine origin Italy. species could represent hidden reservoir for mcr genes.
ObjectiveThe identification of patients colonized or infected with carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE), in order to control and prevent the global spread multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens.MethodsFrom June 1 15, 2012, eight Citrobacter freundii strains reduced susceptibility carbapenems were isolated from rectal swabs hospitalized during active screening following detection a Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) -positive patient on ward. All isolates analyzed...
Starting in 2010, there was a sharp increase infections caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae resistant to carbapenems the Emilia-Romagna region Italy. A region-wide intervention control spread of carbapenemase-producing K. (CPKP) carried out, based on regional guideline issued July 2011. The infection measures recommended Health Trusts (HTs) were: phenotypic confirmation carbapenemase production, active surveillance asymptomatic carriers and contact isolation precautions for carriers. specific...
Background In Italy both the consumption of antibiotics and prevalence bacterial resistance are higher than in other European countries. 2017, first National Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance (PNCAR) was adopted Italy. response to PNCAR two national reports antibiotic use human setting have been published. This article's aim is describe pattern community from 2013 2018. Methods To analyse for reimbursed dispensed by pharmacies different data sources were used. Consumption measured...
Abstract Background The long-term effects of COVID-19, which can vary significantly in type and timing, are considered relevant impacting on the well-being individuals. present study aims to assess incidence outpatient care post-acute phase SARS-CoV-2 infection two Italian regions. Methods has a multicentre, population-based, pre-post, repeated measures design compare rate access visits diagnostics before after infection, considering follow-up 24 months. made use previously recorded...
Abstract Background The COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately affected vulnerable populations in terms of comorbidity and socioeconomic disadvantage, both between within countries. This retrospective population-based cohort study is part the Horizon 2020 ORCHESTRA project, was conducted Emilia-Romagna (E-R) Region, aimed to investigate risk hospitalization, disease severity all-cause mortality during 30 days following SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods All adult positive cases notified E-R from...
