Ribavirin for Patients with Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
(Oxford Univ Press, 2011)
Background: Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a potentially fatal tick-borne infection. The virus is widely distributed around the world and reports of sporadic cases and outbreaks have recently increased ...
Risk Assessment and Prognostic Factors For Mould-Related Diseases in Immunocompromised Patients
(Oxford Univ Press, 2011)
Invasive fungal diseases are important causes of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients. Patients with haematological malignancies and solid cancers, as well as those with allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell ...
Clinical Experience Of Colistin-Glycopeptide Combination In Critically Ill Patients Infected With Gram-Negative Bacteria
(Amer Soc Microbiology, 2014)
A colistin-glycopeptide combination (CGC) has been shown in vitro to be synergistic against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (MDR GNB), especially Acinetobacter baumannii, and to prevent further resistance. ...
Development And Validation Of The Increment-Esbl Predictive Score For Mortality In Patients With Bloodstream Infections Due To Extendedspectrum- Beta-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae
(Oxford Univ Press, 2017)
Background. Bloodstream infections (BSIs) due to ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) are frequent yet outcome prediction rules for clinical use have not been developed. The objective was to define and validate a ...
Epidemiology And Susceptibility Of Pathogens From Smart 2011-12 Turkey: Evaluation Of Hospital-Acquired Versus Community-Acquired Urinary Tract Infections And Icu- Versus Non-Icu-Associated Intra-Abdominal Infections
(Oxford Univ Press, 2017)
Objectives: To describe the epidemiology and susceptibility of pathogens (including ESBL producers) from hospital-acquired (HA) versus community-acquired (CA) urinary tract infections (UTIs) and ICU-versus non-ICU-associated ...
Variability In Protein Binding Of Teicoplanin And Achievement Of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring Targets In Critically Ill Patients: Lessons From The Dali Study
(Elsevier, 2014)
The aims of this study were to describe the variability in protein binding of teicoplanin in critically ill patients as well as the number of patients achieving therapeutic target concentrations. This report is part of the ...
Characterization Of Beta-Lactamase Gene Bla(Per-2,) Which Encodes An Extended-Spectrum Class A Beta-Lactamase
(Amer Soc Microbiology, 1996)
Plasmidic extended-spectrum beta-lactamases of Ambler class A are mostly inactive against ceftibuten. Salmonella typhimurium JMC isolated in Argentina harbors a bla gene located on a plasmid (pMVP-5) which confers transferable ...
Ertapenem For The Treatment Of Bloodstream Infections Due To Esbl-Producing Enterobacteriaceae: A Multinational Pre-Registered Cohort Study
(Oxford Univ Press, 2016)
Objectives: Data about the efficacy of ertapenem for the treatment of bloodstream infections (BSI) due to ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) are Limited. We compared the clinical efficacy of ertapenem and other ...
In Vitro Activities Of Antibiotics Alone And In Combination Against Brucella Melitensis At Neutral And Acidic Phs
(Amer Soc Microbiology, 1999)
Brucellae survive acidic pHs in phagolysosomes. Azithromycin, streptomycin, and quinolones were active against Brucella melitensis at pH 7.0 but not at pH 5.0; rifampin and doxycycline retained activity at pH 5.0. Regardless ...
Quinolones in Treatment of Human Brucellosis Comparative Trial of Ofloxacin-Rifampin Versus Doxycycline-Rifampin
(Amer Soc Microbiology, 1993)
Quinolones have been reported to be active against Brucella species in vitro. In this prospective randomized study, the efficacy and safety of the combination of ofloxacin plus rifampin were compared with the efficacy and ...
