Preexisting antimicrobial resistance is an increasing cause of treatment failure and is estimated to account for up to 70% of all treatment failures. Geography is the most important factor in HP resistance. Metronidazole-resistant strains are more prevalent in Asia (85%) than North America (30%).15 Primary resistance to amoxicillin and tetracycline remains low in both the United States and Europe. Clarithromycin resistance rates are estimated to be approximately 10% in the United States. Another confounding factor when evaluating potential antibiotic resistance is that culture and sensitivity studies are not routinely performed with HP infection. [Pg.276]

Recognize that antimicrobial resistance is an inevitable consequence of antimicrobial therapy. [Pg.1019]

Bacterial cultures should be obtained prior to antimicrobial therapy in patients with a systemic inflammatory response, risk factors for antimicrobial resistance, or infections where diagnosis or antimicrobial susceptibility is uncertain. [Pg.1019]

The discovery of antimicrobials is among the greatest medical achievements of the twentieth century. Prior to the antimicrobial era, patients who contracted common infectious diseases developed significant morbidity or perished. The discovery of penicillin in 1927, followed by the subsequent discovery of other antimicrobials, contributed to a significant decline in infectious disease-related mortality during the next five decades. However, since 1980, infectious diseases related mortality in the United States have begun to increase, in part owing to increases in antimicrobial resistance. [Pg.1020]

Empirical therapy should be directed at the most likely pathogen (s) for a specific patient, taking into account age, risk factors for infection (including underlying disease and immune dysfunction, vaccine history, and recent exposures), CSF Gram stain results, CSF antibiotic penetration, and local antimicrobial resistance patterns.

Emerging infectious pathogens, increasing antimicrobial resistance, recognition of the long-term impact of diarrheal diseases and the appearance of diseases that decrease the host defense have heightened the necessity to develop new and more specific treatments and further... [Pg.32]

Antimicrobial resistance to rifamycins develops rapidly both in vitro and in vivo [65,85,86], As a consequence, all the three members of the family (i.e. rifampicin, rifabutin and rifapentine) are used clinically as components of combination therapies [65,87], Being structurally related, rifaximin could share this potential. And indeed resistance rates, recorded in fecal strains of Enterobacteriaceae, Enterococcus, Bacteroides, Clostridium and anaerobic cocci, ranged between 30 and 90% after short-term (5 days) antibiotic (800 mg daily) treatment [82], A similar pattern was observed in 10 patients with hepatic encephalopathy after treatment with rifaximin 1,200 mg/day for 5 days [80].
