ABSTRACT Ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI) is a recently approved β-lactam–β-lactamase inhibitor combination with the potential to treat serious infections caused by carbapenem-resistant organisms. Few patients such were included in CAZ-AVI clinical trials, and experience lacking. We present case series of Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) or Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPa) who treated salvage therapy on compassionate-use basis. Physicians had prescribed completed report form. used descriptive statistics...
Background.Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare inherited of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase system that causes defective production toxic oxygen metabolites, impaired bacterial and fungal killing, recurrent life-threatening infections, mostly by catalase-producing organisms. We report for first time, to our knowledge, chronic infections with Actinomyces species in 10 patients CGD. Actinomycosis condition commonly manifests as cervicofacial, pulmonary, or abdominal disease, caused...
This declaration, signed by an interdisciplinary task force of 234 experts from 83 different countries with backgrounds, highlights the threat posed antimicrobial resistance and need for appropriate use antibiotic agents antifungal in hospitals worldwide especially focusing on surgical infections.As such, it is our intent to raise awareness among healthcare workers improve prescribing.To facilitate its dissemination, declaration was translated languages.A ntimicrobial (AMR) has emerged as...
To investigate fear of legal claims and defensive behaviours among specialists in infectious diseases (ID) clinical microbiology (CM) to identify associated demographic professional characteristics.AntibioLegalMap was an international cross-sectional internet-based survey targeting ID CM. Three variables were explored: liability antibiotic prescribing/advising on prescription; prescribing; advising.

Background: The aim of the study was to assess performance a real-time polymerase chain reaction (rt-PCR) assay on plasma and respiratory samples for diagnosis pneumococcal pneumonia.Methods: Three hundred forty patients (160 children 180 adults) with community-acquired pneumonia were included prospectively from January 2011 May 2012. Blood obtained simultaneously culture rt-PCR targeting lytA gene. Respiratory also obtained: nasopharyngeal swab in nearly all sputum or tracheal aspirate when...
