Impact of the MIC of Piperacillin-Tazobactam on the Outcome of Patients with Bacteremia Due to Extended-Spectrum-B-Lactamase- Producing Escherichia coli
(American Society for Microbiology, 2013-07)
We investigated the impact of the piperacillin-tazobactam MIC in the outcome of 39 bloodstream infections due to extended- spectrum-B-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli. All 11 patients with urinary tract infections ...
Article
Intestinal colonization due to Escherichia coli ST131: Risk factors and prevalence
(Biomed Central, 2018-11-15)
Background Escherichia coli sequence type 131 (ST131) is a successful clonal group that has dramatically spread during the last decades and is considered an important driver for the rapid increase of quinolone resistance ...
Article
Prevalence, Incidence, and Risk Factors for Intestinal Colonization Due to Fluoroquinolone-Resistant ST131 Escherichia coli: a Longitudinal Study in Highly Dependent, Long-Term Care Facility Residents
(American Society for Microbiology, 2022)
Escherichia coli ST131 clade C is an important driver for fluoroquinolone resistance (FQ-R). We conducted a prospective observational study in residents from two long-term care facilities (LTCFs) in Seville, Spain, in 2018. ...
Article
Long-Term Control of Endemic Hospital-Wide Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA): The Impact of Targeted Active Surveillance for MRSA in Patients and Healthcare Workers
(Cambridge University Press, 2010-08)
To evaluate the long-term impact of successive interventions on rates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonization or infection and MRSA bacteremia in an endemic hospital-wide situation. DESIGN:Quas ...
Article
Inoculum Effect on the Efficacies of Amoxicillin-Clavulanate, Piperacillin-Tazobactam, and Imipenem against Extended-Spectrum -Lactamase (ESBL)-Producing and Non-ESBL-Producing Escherichia coli in an Experimental Murine Sepsis Model
(American Society for Microbiology, 2013-04)
Escherichia coli is commonly involved in infections with a heavy bacterial burden. Piperacillin-tazobactam and carbapenems are among the recommended empirical treatments for health care-associated complicated intra-abdominal ...
Article
Risk Factors and Prognosis of Nosocomial Bloodstream Infections Caused by Extended-Spectrum-B-Lactamase-Producing Escherichia coli
(American Society for Microbiology, 2010-05)
Extended-spectrum-B-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli (ESBLEC) is an increasing cause of community and nosocomial infections worldwide. However, there is scarce clinical information about nosocomial bloodstream ...
Article
Bacteraemia due to non-ESBL-producing Escherichia coli O25b:H4 sequence type 131: insights into risk factors, clinical features and outcomes
(Elsevier, 2017)
The epidemiology and outcomes of bloodstream infections (BSIs) caused by Escherichia coli ST131 isolates not producing extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) are not well defined despite being more prevalent than ESBL-producers. ...
Article
Duration of Colonization by Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae in Healthy Newborns and Associated Risk Factors: a Prospective Cohort Study
(Oxford University Press, 2018)
Duration of colonization by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) and factors associated with it were studied in 20 newborns in Seville, Spain. Median duration of colonization was 7.5 months; ...
Article
The global threat of antimicrobial resistance: science for intervention
(2015)
In the last decade we have witnessed a dramatic increase in the proportion and absolute number of bacterial pathogens resistant to multiple antibacterial agents. Multidrug-resistant bacteria are currently considered as an ...
Article
Prevalence and transmission dynamics of Escherichia coli ST131 among contacts of infected community and hospitalized patients
(Elsevier, 2018)
Objectives: The Escherichia coli O25b-associated ST131 clonal group was recently found to be prevalent in our area as a cause of community-acquired urinary tract infections. We evaluated the transmission dynamics and ...
