| resistance surveillance programs and the incidence of gram-negative bacillary resistance to amikacin from 1967 to 1985. | data relating to amikacin resistance among gram-negative bacilli were obtained by means of a review of published literature and resistance surveillance studies. data from the first several years of amikacin use are difficult to interpret because the 10-micrograms disk used for kirby-bauer susceptibility testing resulted in apparent greater resistance than the present 30-micrograms disk. a large united states susceptibility surveillance program that monitors antibiotic use has shown a trend since ... | 1986 | 3089003 |

| summer peaks in the incidences of gram-negative bacterial infection among hospitalized patients. | recognition of seasonal trends in hospital infections may improve diagnosis, use of empirical therapy, and infection prevention interventions. there are very few data available regarding the seasonal variability of these infections. we quantified the seasonal variation in the incidences of hospital infection caused by common bacterial pathogens and estimated the association between temperature changes and infection rates. | 2008 | 19031546 |
