Trends of norfloxacin and erythromycin resistance of Campylobacter jejuni/Campylobacter coli isolates recovered from international travelers, 1994 to 2006 Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde Universiteit Antwerpen
Human vaginal Lactobacillus rhamnosus harbor mutation in 23S rRNA associated with erythromycin resistance Universiteit Gent
Antimicrobial resistance and molecular typing of Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream isolates from hospitals in Peru Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
OBJECTIVES: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections are of worldwide concern. The present study describes the antimicrobial resistance and molecular typing of methicillin-resistant and methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) bloodstream isolates in Peru. METHODS: Consecutive non-duplicate S. aureus bloodstream isolates were collected over a 15-month period (2008-2009) from seven hospitals in Lima and Callao, two contiguous ...
Bloodstream infection among adults in Phnom Penh, Cambodia: key pathogens and resistance patterns Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
BACKGROUND: Bloodstream infections (BSI) cause important morbidity and mortality worldwide. In Cambodia, no surveillance data on BSI are available so far. METHODS: From all adults presenting with SIRS at Sihanouk Hospital Centre of HOPE (July 2007-December 2010), 20 ml blood was cultured. Isolates were identified using standard microbiological techniques; antibiotic susceptibilities were assessed using disk diffusion and MicroScan(R), with ...
Exploring the association between resistance and outpatient antibiotic use expressed as DDDs or packages Universiteit Hasselt Universiteit Antwerpen KU Leuven
Objectives: The objective of this study was to explore the association between resistance and outpatient antibiotic use, expressed as either DDDs per 1000 inhabitants per day (DID) or packages per 1000 inhabitants per day (PID). Methods: IMS Health data on outpatient penicillin and cephalosporin (β-lactam) and tetracycline, macrolide, lincosamide and streptogramin (TMLS) use, aggregated at the level of the active substance (WHO version 2011) ...
High levels of antimicrobial resistance in Escherichia coli and Salmonella from poultry in Ecuador Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Objective. To describe antimicrobial resistance profiles of Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp. isolated from chicken carcasses and the antimicrobials commonly used in animals in Ecuador and provide information on antimicrobial resistance patterns for implementing evidence-based corrective measures.
Methods. Meat samples were collected from chicken carcasses in 199 slaughterhouses across Ecuador as part of a national pilot study for ...

Prevalence and transmission of antimicrobial resistance among Aeromonas populations from a duckweed aquaculture based hospital sewage water recycling system in Bangladesh Universiteit Gent
In order to investigate the influence of a duckweed aquaculture based hospital sewage water recycling plant on the prevalence and dissemination of antibiotic resistance, we made use of an existing collection of 1,315 Aeromonas isolates that were previously typed by the biochemical fingerprinting PhP-AE system. In these treatment plant, hospital raw sewage water is first collected in a settlement pond (referred to as sewage water in this study) ...
Increasing telithromycin resistance among **Streptococcus pyogenes** in Europe Universiteit Antwerpen
Objectives: To assess changes in macrolide and ketolide resistance among Streptococcus pyogenes in Europe and to examine the relationship of resistance to antimicrobial usage. Methods: Clinical S. pyogenes isolates were collected from Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, UK, Croatia, Hungary, Poland, Slovak Republic and Slovenia during 200203 (n = 2165) and 200405 (n = 2333). Resistance to telithromycin ...
