Candida parapsilosis has emerged as an important yeast species causing fungemia. We describe the incidence and epidemiology of C. Data from active population-based surveillance in Barcelona, Spain, January 2002 to December 2003 were analyzed. focused on 78 episodes fungemia, we compared them with 175 albicans controls. accounted for 23% all fungemias. The annual incidences 1 episode per 10(5) patients, 1.2 10(4) discharges, 1.7 patient days. All isolates but one (99%) fluconazole...
This study compared the results of new Sysmex PA-100 AST System, a point-of-care analyser, with routine microbiology for detection urinary tract infections (UTI) and performance antimicrobial susceptibility tests (AST) directly from urine.
To assess the use of intracameral cefazolin in preventing endophthalmitis cataract surgery.Ophthalmology Department, L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Barcelona, Spain.This study was phacoemulsification procedures performed from January 2002 to December 2007. In 2004, given at end surgery added prophylaxis protocol surgery. The cumulative incidence postoperative before and after addition compared.During period, 18579 were performed. 2-year period introduction prophylaxis, 25 cases diagnosed 5930...
Objective. To validate an automated system for the detection of patients with nosocomial infection (NI) in intensive care unit (ICU). Design. Retrospective analysis data from hospital information system. We applied 3 different NI suspicion criteria (positive microbiology reports, antibiotic administration, and diagnosis clinical infection) compared results to those a prospective incidence study done ICU during same period (1999-2002). Setting. A 250-bed general Barcelona, Spain. Patients....
We describe the first case of failure oral levofloxacin treatment community-acquired pneumonia caused by Haemophilus influenzae. The strain showed cross-resistance to fluoroquinolones and carried four mutations in quinolone resistance-determining regions DNA gyrase topoisomerase IV genes.
Abstract Objectives To analyse the possible relationship between consumption of old and new MRSA-active antibiotics burden MRSA in acute care hospitals Catalonia during period 2007–12. Methods Fifty-four participating VINCat Programme were included. Proportion (resistant isolates Staphylococcus aureus per 100 S. tested), incidence cases infection [new 1000 occupied bed-days (OBD)] bacteraemia (MRSA OBD) determined to estimate annual burden. Antibiotic was calculated DDD/100 OBD. Cost...
Introduction. The absence of a gold-standard methodology for the microbiological diagnosis urinary tract infections (UTI) has led to insufficient standardization criteria interpretation results and processing methods, particularly incubation time culture media. Hypothesis. 48-hour period use blood agar enhances sensitivity microorganisms isolated significantly. Aim. To determine Brilliance UTI chromogenic agar, incubating different periods (24–48 hours), detection positive urine cultures....
