The impact of antimicrobial use on the emergence of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria in hospitals

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America
R P Gaynes

Abstract

Abundant evidence suggests a relationship between antimicrobial resistance and use, including models, consistent associations between resistance and antimicrobial use in hospitals, concomitant variation in resistance as antimicrobial use varies, and a dose-response relationship for many pathogen/antimicrobial combinations. Much of the evidence is from studies performed in single hospitals. Most multicenter studies on resistance have not included data on antimicrobial usage. Despite this substantial body of evidence, some studies have not demonstrated an association between antimicrobial resistance and use, suggesting other contributing factors such as cross transmission, interhospital transfer of resistance, a community contribution to resistance, or a complex relationship between resistance and the use of a variety of antimicrobials. Understanding the problem of antimicrobial resistance in a hospital cannot be achieved without knowledge of the hospital's pattern of antimicrobial use.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases

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.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

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