Resistance profiles and risk factors of resistant microorganisms in bacteraemia of abdominal origin
Abstract Objective The presence of resistant microorganisms is a major cause of failure in initial empirical antimicrobial therapy. The objectives of this study are to determine the resistance profile of microorganisms that cause bacteraemia of abdominal origin and to identify whether the previous use of antibiotics and the place of acquisition of bacteraemia are risk factors associated with the presence of resistant organisms. Material and methods A clinical, observational, epidemiological, retrospective cohort study was conducted with all the adult patients admitted to a university hospital from 2011 to 2013. Antimicrobial resistance profiles were described and a 95% confidence interval c…
Perfiles de resistencia y factores de riesgo de microorganismos resistentes en bacteriemia de origen abdominal
Resumen Objetivo La presencia de microorganismos resistentes es una causa importante de fallo en el tratamiento antimicrobiano inicial. Los objetivos de este estudio son conocer el perfil de resistencia de los microorganismos causantes de bacteriemia de origen abdominal e identificar si el uso previo de antibioticos y el lugar de adquisicion de la bacteriemia son factores de riesgo para determinar la presencia de microorganismos resistentes. Material y metodo Se diseno un estudio de cohorte retrospectiva de todos los pacientes adultos que presentaron bacteriemia y/o fungemia cuyo foco infeccioso primario fue de origen abdominal ingresados en un hospital universitario durante los anos 2011-2…
