Published data on antimicrobial resistance are lacking for the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Knowledge of local patterns of resistance is essential to optimize guidelines for empirical antimicrobial treatment. Awareness of susceptibility patterns in other parts of the world may be important for determining empirical antimicrobial therapy for travelers or patients transferred from abroad. Antibiograms from unique isolates of common hospital and community bacteria are described in a tertiary referral hospital in the UAE, which had no antimicrobial restrictions and limited resources. Antimicrobial resistance rates were unpredictable and were high for Gram-negative organisms, such as Escherichia coli, Shigella sonnei, Campylobacter spp, and also Streptococcus pneumoniae. In contrast, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) comprised less than 5% of S. aureus isolates and glycopeptide-resistant enterococci (GRE) were not detected during the surveillance period. Our results provide data on antimicrobial resistance for the UAE and highlight the need for resources for surveillance of antimicrobial resistance. 相似文献

During 2004 four Italian Laboratories assessed the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance among uropathogens causing acute uncomplicated cystitis in female out-patients. A total of 600 urine samples from individuals aged 18-65 were studied. The overall prevalence of Escherichia coli was 85.3%. Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Proteus mirabilis, Enterococcus faecalis and other rarer species were far less represented. Determination of the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of the entire collection of E. coli (512 organisms) revealed that among the drugs analyzed ampicillin was the least active molecule with only 62.5% of the strains being inhibited. Amoxicillin-clavulanate and cefuroxime displayed a higher potency (87.7% and 89.2% respectively). Cotrimoxazole inhibited only 70.1% of the uropathogens. The three fluoquinolones tested had comparable activity ranging from 83.0% for ciprofloxacin, to 83.6% for levofloxacin and 84.9% for prulifloxacin, indicating an identical spectrum of cross resistance. Nitrofurantoin (96.7%) and fosfomycin (98.6%) were the most potent drugs. Against the whole collection of uropathogens, only cefuroxime, nitrofurantoin and fosfomycin overcame the threshold of 90% activity, with the fluoroquinolones and amoxicillin-clavulanate suffering from about 15% resistance. The results of this survey strongly support the conclusions of recent Italian guidelines concerning the best empiric treatment of UTI in this country today. 相似文献

AbstractDrug susceptibility test results of respiratory tract pathogens, isolated from patients admitted to the Clinic of Respiratory Diseases of the IRCCS San Matteo Hospital, University of Pavia (Italy) between 1990 and 1999, were retrospectively evaluated. A total of 1366 bacterial isolates were collected, including 499 Grampositive and 867 Gram-negative strains. In comparison to methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus, the methicillin-resistant strains (MRSA) showed high levels of resistance to many selected antibiotics, except for glycopeptides. Resistance rates to beta-lactams were high in both Pseudomonas aeruginosa and in the other Gram-negative isolates, while aminoglycoside and ciprofloxacin resistance was less than 20%. Some pathogens became more resistant to selected antimicrobials during the observation period, including staphylococci to methicillin, MRSA to ciprofloxacin, P. aeruginosa isolates to imipenem and ciprofloxacin, and the other Gram-negative strains to almost all drugs considered, with the exception of cefotaxime and cotrimoxazole. 相似文献

A retrospective review was made of the bacteriological and medical records of patients with culture-confirmed pulmonary tuberculosis who attended the IRCCS San Matteo Polyclinic of Pavia, between 1990 and 2000. Altogether, 279 patients were included in the survey: 220 new cases and 59 prior treatment cases. Resistance to at least one drug, and resistance to both isoniazid and rifampicin (MDR) were more common among previously treated patients than among new cases (86.4% vs. 34.1%, and 44% vs. 5.9%, respectively). While the frequency of resistance to any drug showed no variation in the period examined, a trend toward a progressive decrease in the frequency of primary MDR-TB was observed (from 11.9% in 1990-1992 to 1.3% in 1998-2000). The level of resistance observed in our study suggests that all isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis should be tested for drug susceptibility, especially when obtained from patients who report a previous episode of the disease. 相似文献

Objective
To understand distribution and drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria from a specialized cancer hospital in 2013 in order to provide a basis for rational clinical antimicrobial agents.Methods
Pathogenic bacteria identification and drug sensitivity tests were performed with a VITEK 2 compact automatic identification system and data were analyzed using WHONET5.6 software.Results
Of the 1,378 strains tested, 980 were Gram-negative bacilli, accounting for 71.1%, in which Klebsiella pneumonia, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were the dominant strains. We found 328 Gram-positive coccus, accounting for 23.8%, in which the amount of Staphylococcus aureus was the highest. We identified 46 fungi, accounting for 4.1%. According to the departmental distribution within the hospital, the surgical departments isolated the major strains, accounting for 49.7%. According to disease types, lung cancer, intestinal cancer and esophagus cancer were the top three, accounting for 20.9%, 17.3% and 14.2%, respectively. No strains were resistant to imipenem, ertapenem or vancomycin.Conclusions
Pathogenic bacteria isolated from the specialized cancer hospital have different resistance rates compared to commonly used antimicrobial agents; therefore antimicrobial agents to reduce the morbidity and mortality of infections should be used. 相似文献7.

Data concerning patients undergoing antibiotic treatment for upper (URTI) or lower (LRTI) respiratory tract infections were collected from 23 General Practitioners (GPs) in the Campania Region of Italy from November 15, 1997 to March 15, 1998. The objectives of the study were: a) to assess the occurrence of URTIs and LRTIs; b) to document the factors that influence GPs' choice of therapy; c) to correlate antibiotic choice with duration and outcome of treatment; d) to assess the incidence of unwanted effects. 2198 questionnaires were collected. Patients were +/-43.9 of age. URTIs were diagnosed in 65.4% and 34.6% LRTIs. The mean duration of antibiotic treatment was 4.5 days in URTIs and 5.6 days in LRTIs. The choice of antibiotic treatment was influenced by clinical assessment of infections (67.1%). The most commonly used antibiotic categories in URTIs were macrolides (39.3%), penicillins (27.4%) and cephalosporins (23.8%) whereas for LRTIs mainly cephalosporins (63.8%), penicillins (9.2%) and fluoroquinolones (7.4%) were used. Adverse events were experienced by 3.9% of patients. 相似文献

BACKGROUND:: Oncologists, health care workers and health organizations considerwell-performed teaching programs in clinical oncology a fundamentalstep in cancer control. The aim of our study was to assess theviews of teachers and students on the present status of oncologyteaching in Italian medical schools and on the most common shortcomingsin cancer education. MATERIALS AND METHODS:: A survey was carried out among teachers and students of 17 Italianmedical schools using two different questionnaires. Six hundredforty-seven students of Northern, Central and Southern Italyin the final two years (5th and 6th) of their medical curriculumand 87 professors of pathology, surgery, internal medicine andmedical oncology completed the questionnaires. RESULTS:: Doctor/patient relationships and integration among disciplineswere the most unsatisfactory aspects of oncology teaching, accordingto students. Biology, epidemiology, radiotherapy, and medicaltreatment were felt to be in-sufficiently treated, whilst diagnosticaspects, clinical management and surgery were rated sufficient.The median number of cancer patients to whom each student hadaccess during his/her training was limited, averaging only 13patients; however, a high degree of variability was noted. Alarger number of patients was generally observed in smaller,less crowded medical schools, with notable exceptions. Althoughthe majority of teachers had clinical practices related to theirdisciplines, only a small number of students underwent a periodof clinical training. Traditional methods of teaching were preferredto innovative methods, while interaction among disciplines wasuncommon. CONCLUSIONS: This survey emphasizes the dualism between students' expectationsand teachers' ideas about cancer teaching. Doctor/patient relationshipsand poor attention to practical clinical problems seem the mostcritical issues for clinical oncology training in Italian medicalschools. curriculum, medical education, medical oncology, medical schools, survey, teaching methods 相似文献

The relation of breast cancer to social and dietary variables was evaluated in a case-control study of 368 women with breast cancer admitted to the General Hospital of Pordenone (a town in the eastern side of Northern Italy) and 373 age-matched controls. Occupation was related to the risk of breast cancer, housewives and non-manual workers (teachers and other professionals, clerical workers, etc.) showing relative risks of 1.7 and 2.4 respectively when compared to women occupied in agriculture. The role of education was apparently less important, and not statistically significant. The risk was higher in women who were obese, the trend of increasing risk with increasing body mass index being confined to post-menopausal women. When indicators of dietary fat intake were analysed, a significantly increased risk was found with more frequent consumption of milk and dairy products but the risk estimates were only slightly above unity with reference to meat consumption. Women who drank alcoholic beverages showed a relative risk of 2.5 compared to women who had never drunk, when allowance was made for all identified potential confounding factors. The association between alcohol and breast cancer was not explained by the other dietary variables considered, and the risk estimates were higher for women who drank more wine, or more than one type of alcoholic beverage. Thus, the findings of the present study give evidence in favour of the hypothesis that alcohol consumption is related to the risk of breast cancer. 相似文献

Epidemiological studies on the relation between coffee consumption and cancer risk have been mainly focused on cancers of the urinary bladder, pancreas and colorectum. The relation between coffee and bladder cancer is controversial, despite a large number of studies published over the last three decades. In most studies, the risk tends to be higher in coffee drinkers than in those who do not drink coffee, but the excess risk is generally moderate and is neither dose- nor duration-related. Thus, a strong association between coffee drinking and bladder cancer can be excluded, although it is still unclear whether the weak association is causal or nonspecific and due to some bias or confounding. For pancreatic cancer, a possible association with coffee consumption has been postulated in a large case-control study published in 1981; since then, however, most studies have shown no substantial association, and overall evidence suggests that coffee is not materially related to pancreatic cancer risk. Overall evidence on the coffee-colorectal cancer relation suggests an inverse association, since most case-control studies found odds ratios below unity, particularly for colon cancer. The pattern of risk is less clear for cohort studies. A plausible biological explanation has been given in terms of coffee-related reduction of bile acids and neutral sterol secretion in the colon. For other cancer sites, including oral cavity, oesophagus, stomach, liver, breast, ovary, kidney and lymphoid neoplasms, the relation of coffee drinking with cancer risk has been less extensively investigated, but the evidence is largely reassuring. 相似文献

The study of migrants has generated interesting hypotheses on the etiology of different types of cancer. In particular, it has been suggested that both colon and breast cancer could be related to living conditions, including diet, in the country of immigration. Considerable internal migration occurred in Italy in the sixties. We studied a random sample of 1,400 subjects living in the city of Torino and the province of Varese. They were interviewed with a detailed questionnaire about their dietary habits, and the consumption of several nutrients was considered according to the area of birth and social class. The hypothesis we tested was whether, after controlling for social class, there were different dietary habits among the migrants and the native population, and whether such differences could help in the formulation of etiologic hypotheses on cancer. We found that the intake of saturated fatty acids and cholesterol was lower among the migrants from the south, whereas they consumed higher levels of vegetables than people born in the north. The different intake of saturated fatty acids and cholesterol seemed to be attributable mainly to the consumption of butter, for which the south/north ratio was as low as 0.47 in men and 0.56 in women. Important gradients by social class were also suggested for several nutrients. 相似文献

In order to evaluate the efficacy of macrolides in pediatric patients with recurrent respiratory tract infections (RRTIs), we enrolled 1,706 children (783 females) aged between 6 months and 14 years (median: 4 years) with an acute respiratory infection and a history of RRTIs (> or = 8 episodes per year if aged < 3 years; > or = 6 episodes per year if aged > or = 3 years). The therapies were chosen by the primary care pediatricians and their effects on respiratory relapses were blindly analyzed. Regardless of age and clinical diagnosis, the children treated with macrolides showed a significantly higher rate of short- and long-term clinical success than those receiving beta-lactams (p<0.0001) or symptomatics alone (p<0.0001). These data show that macrolide therapy of acute respiratory infections influences the natural history of RRTIs, probably because of their elective activity on atypical bacteria. They also suggest the possible importance of these pathogens in causing recurrences of respiratory infections in children and show that the infections they cause may have a more complicated course unless treated with adequate antibacterial drugs. 相似文献
