Fluoroquinolone resistance in Escherichia coli isolates after exposure to non-fluoroquinolone antibiotics: a retrospective case–control study
tertiary care patients in Belgium with information on prior antibiotic use at the patient level up to 1 year previously. Results In urine samples from 6125 patients, 7204 E. coli isolates were retrieved ...
Genomic epidemiology of emerging ESBL-producing Kentucky in Europe.
urinary-tract infections. Bayesian time-scaled phylogeny on whole genome sequences of isolates from these cases and supplementary isolates from public sequence databases was used to infer the origin and spread of ...
Development of an NGS-Based Workflow for Improved Monitoring of Circulating Plasmids in Support of Risk Assessment of Antimicrobial Resistance Gene Dissemination.
low-copy-carrying plasmid (>200 kb) was used. Hybrid assemblies of NGS data obtained from whole-genome DNA extractions of the original isolates resulted in the most complete reconstruction of plasmids. The optimal ...
Molecular surveillance of anti-malarial drug resistance in Democratic Republic of Congo: high variability of chloroquinoresistance and lack of amodiaquinoresistance.
remains high in the country. Further studies are needed for continuous monitoring of the CQ resistance level for its prospective re-use in malaria management. The absence of the AQ resistance marker is in ...
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 ...
Prevalence of healthcare-associated infections, estimated incidence and composite antimicrobial resistance index in acute care hospitals and long-term care facilities: results from two European point prevalence surveys, 2016 to 2017
Eurosurveillance, Volume 23, Issue 46 (2018) Keywords: Acute care hospitals Antimicrobial resistance antimicrobial use Healthcare-associated infection long-term care facilities Abstract: Point prevalence surveys of ...
Antimicrobial use in European long-term care facilities: results from the third point prevalence survey of healthcare-associated infections and antimicrobial use, 2016 to 2017

Antimicrobial use in European acute care hospitals: results from the second point prevalence survey (PPS) of healthcare-associated infections and antimicrobial use, 2016 to 2017
Acute care hospitals antimicrobial use Healthcare-associated infection Abstract: Antimicrobial agents used to treat infections are life-saving. Overuse may result in more frequent adverse effects and ...
Time trend of prevalence and susceptibility to nitrofurantoin of urinary MDR Escherichia coli from outpatients
nitrofurantoin was compared between 2005 and 2011-12 using a generalized estimating equation model. Results: MDR status could be determined for 9704 and 12512 urinary E. coli isolates from 7911 and 9441 patients ...
