Animal sources of antimicrobial-resistant bacterial infections in humans: a systematic review
direct contribution of animal sources of AMR are rare but increasing. More recent publications tailor their methodologies increasingly towards the AMR hazard as a whole, providing grounds for future ...
Fluoroquinolone resistance in Escherichia coli isolates after exposure to non-fluoroquinolone antibiotics: a retrospective case–control study
Abstract: Objectives To investigate whether prior exposure to non-fluoroquinolone antibiotics increases the risk of fluoroquinolone resistance in Escherichia coli. Methods This was a secondary analysis of ...
Superficial mycoses in Belgium: Burden, costs and antifungal drugs consumption
mainly from packaging changes and increased self‐medication. A significant decrease in itraconazole treatments was notably compensated by an increased prescription of fluconazole packages. Conclusion This ...
Time trend of prevalence and susceptibility to nitrofurantoin of urinary MDR Escherichia coli from outpatients
in 2005 and 2011-12, respectively, with most patients being women (79% in both study periods). The prevalence of MDR increased from 28.4% (2758/9704) in 2005 to 34.3% (4286/12512) in 2011-12 (adjusted ...
Attributable deaths and disability-adjusted life-years caused by infections with antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the EU and the European Economic Area in 2015: a population-level modelling analysis
deaths and 874 541 (768 837-989 068) DALY s. The burden for the EU and EEA was highest in infants (aged <1 year) and people aged 65 years or older, had increased since 2007, and was highest in Italy ...
Surveillance of antimicrobial resistant bacteria in Belgian hospitals: Report 2016
Enterobacteriaceae, especially in Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) in acute care hospitals. The mean resistance proportion of extended beta-lactamase producing (ESBL +) K. pneumoniae increased from 6.2% in 2005 to ...
Genetic Basis and Clonal Population Structure of Antibiotic Resistance in Isolated From Broiler Carcasses in Belgium.
addition, ST-2274 was linked to the CIP- NAL- TET- AMR multidrug resistant phenotype. In contrast, clonal complex CC-45 was linked to increased susceptibility to the tested antibiotics. The results obtained ...
Nosocomial Intravascular Catheter Infections with Extended-spectrum Beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli in Calves after Strain Introduction from a Commercial Herd.
strains also overexpressed their chromosomal AmpC gene. Evidence on the introduction of the strain from a beef herd, experiencing neonatal diarrhoea and increased mortality, to the clinic through admission ...
Epidemiology of Clostridium difficile infection in Belgium: Report 2016
increase in HA- CDI incidence was marked in Flanders. The differences between regions are now negligible. The severity of the disease has not changed in recent years. There is a high diversity of circulating ...
Belgian hand hygiene campaigns in ICU, 2005-2015.
Healthcare-associated infections (HCAI) are still a major problem especially in most intensive care units (ICU). Incompliance by clinical staff with hand hygiene (HH) increases rates of preventable infections. We report ...
