| bacteremia in hematological and oncological children with febrile neutropenia: experience in a tertiary medical center in taiwan. | a retrospective study of bacteremia in children with febrile neutropenia admitted to a medical center in taiwan from january 1999 to december 1999 was performed. there were 190 episodes of febrile neutropenia during this period and 46 pathogens were isolated from blood specimens in 38 bacteremic episodes (7 mixed infections). pseudomonas aeruginosa (17.4%), staphylococcus aureus (10.9%), klebsiella pneumoniae (10.9%), and enterobacter cloacae (10.9%) were the most common isolates. three of the 5 ... | 2003 | 14582565 |
| nationwide surveillance in taiwan of the in-vitro activity of tigecycline against clinical isolates of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing enterobacteriaceae. | tigecycline in-vitro surveillance in taiwan (tist), initiated in 2006, is a nationwide surveillance programme designed to monitor longitudinally the in-vitro activity of tigecycline against commonly encountered resistant bacteria. this study compared the in-vitro activity of tigecycline against clinical isolates of resistant gram-negative bacteria determined by the broth microdilution and etest methods. a total of 622 isolates were collected from patients treated at 20 teaching hospitals. tigecy ... | 2008 | 19013351 |

| complete sequences of two plasmids in a blandm-1-positive klebsiella oxytoca isolate from taiwan. | genetic determinants of a bla(ndm-1)-positive, multidrug-resistant bacterial isolate that caused active infection was investigated by dna sequencing. two plasmids, pkox_ndm1 and pkox-r1, were identified for the klebsiella oxytoca strain e718. sequence annotation revealed a bla(ndm-1) gene in pkox_ndm1 and two extended-spectrum β-lactamase producers (bla(ctx-m-3) and blashv-12) and a wide array of resistance genes in pkox-r1. these findings highlight the difficulty in treating multidrug-resistant ... | 2013 | 23752513 |
| antibiotic susceptibility of commensal bacteria from human milk. | recent studies have focused on foodborne or commensal bacteria as vehicles of antibiotic resistance. however, the antibiotic resistance of milk bacteria from healthy donors is still vague in taiwan. for this purpose, human milk samples were obtained from randomly recruited 19 healthy women between 3 and 360 days post-partum. antibiotic susceptibility profile of bacteria from milk samples was determined. about 20 bacterial species were isolated from milk samples including staphylococcus (6 specie ... | 2016 | 26494365 |
