an outbreak and isolation of drug-resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa at niigata university hospital, japan.	pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that causes disease in patients with impaired host defenses; it is often a cause of life-threatening nosocomial infection in critically ill and immunocompromised patients. an increase in the prevalence of multiple-drug-resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa (mdrp) in hospitals is thus a worldwide problem. these increases are frequently related to the high selective pressure of antimicrobials commonly used in hospitalized patients, particularly extend ...	2008	18709539
[clinical analysis of mrsa pneumonia. niigata research group of mrsa.abk].	aged or immuno-compromised patients were mostly affected, by pneumonia caused by infection of mrsa, and more than half of the cases were superinfected with glucose-nonfermentative gram-negative rods including pseudomonas aeruginosa. these patients were treated with a monotherapy of arbekacin (abk) by intravenous drip administration or with a combination of abk and imipenem/cilastatin, ceftazidime or antifungals. the clinical efficiencies were 55.6% in 11 monotherapy cases and 83.3% in combined t ...	1994	8072182
[isolation-frequency and antibiotic susceptibility of streptococcus pneumoniae, haemophilus influenzae, and pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated in regional core hospitals in the nagaoka district of niigata prefecture (changes for 3 years)].	we measured mics of various antimicrobial agents against streptococcus pneumoniae, haemophilus influenzae, and pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated in the nagaoka district of niigata prefecture in 2000 (march-may), 2001 (january-may), and 2002 (march-may). s. pneumoniae: fifty-six strains were isolated in 2000, 119 strains in 2001, and 88 strains in 2002. in 2000, 2001, and 2002, 24 strains (42.9%), 58 strains (48.7%), and 40 strains (45.5%), respectively, were penicillin-intermediate s. pneumoniae ( ...	2004	15116575
