influence of third-generation cephalosporin utilization on the occurrence of esbl-positive klebsiella pneumoniae strains. | klebsiella pneumoniae belongs to important nosocomial pathogens causing mainly hospital-acquired infections. beta-lactam antibiotics are frequently used in the treatment of infections caused by k. pneumoniae, but by their selection pressure the bacteria become resistant. excessive use of third-generation cephalosporins is a risk factor for the occurrence and spread of esbl-producing bacterial strains. the goal of this study was to describe the utilization of third-generation cephalosporins and t ... | 2007 | 17635342 |
[prevalence of esbl-positive enterobacteriaceae in large moravian hospitals (czech republic)]. | bacterial infections have become an important issue in current medicine. recently, their frequency and severity have significantly increased as a result of the rising number of resistant bacteria. one of important mechanisms of resistance is production of broad-spectrum beta-lactamases, namely the esbl type. the study aimed at determining the frequency of esbl-positive enterobacteriaceae in three large hospitals in moravia, the eastern part of the czech republic. | 2010 | 21191872 |
