The landscape of drug resistance in Plasmodium falciparum malaria in the Democratic Republic of Congo: a mapping systematic review

parasites carrying molecular markers of drug-resistance across the country. METHODS: A systematic mapping review was carried out before July 2023 by searching for relevant articles through seven databases ...

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 ...

Development of an NGS-Based Workflow for Improved Monitoring of Circulating Plasmids in Support of Risk Assessment of Antimicrobial Resistance Gene Dissemination.

view of AMR gene localization, i.e., chromosomal or on a plasmid. Whole-genome and plasmid DNA extraction methods were compared, as were assemblies consisting of short reads (Illumina MiSeq), long reads ...

Molecular surveillance of anti-malarial drug resistance in Democratic Republic of Congo: high variability of chloroquinoresistance and lack of amodiaquinoresistance.

the presence of the SVMNT  haplotype. METHODS: In 2017, ten geographical sites across the DRC were selected. Dried blood samples were collected from patients attending health centres. Malaria was first ...

Superficial mycoses in Belgium: Burden, costs and antifungal drugs consumption

mycoses in Belgium and to assess trends in associated antifungal consumption. Methods The burden of dermatophytoses (including onychomycosis), as well as skin and genital candidiasis, was estimated using ...

Time trend of prevalence and susceptibility to nitrofurantoin of urinary MDR Escherichia coli from outpatients

nitrofurantoin, i.e. first-line treatment for uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTI s), of urinary MDR E. coli (2005 versus 2011-12). Methods: In this secondary analysis of a multicentre study, which ...

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

disability-adjusted life-years (DALY s). METHODS: We estimated the incidence of infections with 16 antibiotic resistance-bacterium combinations from European Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Network (EARS-Net) ...

Characteristics of the antibiotic regimen that affect antimicrobial resistance in urinary pathogens

is unclear. Methods In this retrospective multi-center cohort study, we assessed the impact of different variables on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in pathogens isolated from the urinary tract in older adults. ...

Poor adherence to guidelines for preventing central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI): results of a worldwide survey.

preventable. We documented attitudes and practices in intensive care units (ICU s) in 2015 in order to assess compliance with CLABSI prevention guidelines. METHODS: Between June and October 2015, an online ...

Validation of a Sampling Method to Collect Exposure Data for Central-Line-Associated Bloodstream Infections.

and 2012. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: CLD data were reported by 56 ICU s in 39 hospitals during 364 trimesters. METHODS: We compared estimated CLD data obtained from weekly and monthly sampling schemes with the ...
