Abstract

The pattern of bacterial infections and antimicrobial susceptibility has changed significantly during the past 20-30 years. The causative organisms for bacteremia or fungemia identified at Kinki University Hospital in 1985-1996 were compared with the isolates identified during 1997-2002. The prevalence of gram-negative organisms decreased, whereas the prevalence of gram-positive organisms increased. Staphylococcal species predominated in the second period, accounting for 22% of isolates, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) increased from 5% to 14% of isolates. Pseudomonas aeruginosa ranked second, although the prevalence decreased in the second period compared with the first. Candida species were also relatively frequent (11%). Enterococcal species had an 8% prevalence. A comparison of all culture isolates showed that gram-negative isolates still predominated among the general patient population, whereas almost equal prevalence was observed in patients with hematological diseases. MRSA was the organism most frequently isolated in the general patient population, followed by P. aeruginosa. Among staphylococcal species, MRSA accounted for as much as 90% of isolates.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases (ASM)

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.
