Antimicrobial Resistance

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most abundant bacterial species causing nosocomial infections in Russia. In this paper, we report the data on antimicrobial susceptibility of 343 isolates of P. aeruginosa collected in 25 hospitals of 18 cities of Russia …

Acinetobacter baumannii and related species of the Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-baumannii complex are the common and one of the most difficult-to-treat nosocomial pathogens. In this paper, we report the data on antimicrobial susceptibility of 252 …

Species of the family Enterobacteriaceae represent the most prevalent group of nosocomial pathogens. In this paper, we report the data on antimicrobial susceptibility of 573 isolates of Enterobacteriaceae collected in 25 hospitals of 18 cities of …

Streptococcus pneumoniae strains isolated from children of Krasnoyarsk (Siberia, Russian Federation) were examined. Authors determined Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes and antimicrobial resistance. 16.7% of strains were multiple resistant with high …

Acquired bacterial resistance is currently one of the causes of mortality and morbidity from infectious diseases. Mathematical modeling allows us to predict the further spread of resistance and to some extent to control its dynamics. The purpose of …

Objective. To study antimicrobial resistance of Haemophilus influenzae and its trends in different Russian regions over the period of 2004–2009. Materials and Methods. This study included consecutive clinical strains of H. influenzae obtained from patients with different infections (pneumonia, acute otitis media, meningitis, bacteremia, COPD exacerbation, etc.) in Central, Volga, Ural, and Siberian federal districts of Russia over the period of 2004–2009. Susceptibility to 12 antimicrobial agents was determined by broth microdilution method according to the Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines (CLSI 2013).

Objective. Objectives. To analyze etiology and antimicrobial resistance of pathogens causing complicated community-acquired urinary tract infections (cUTI) in adult patients in different regions of Russia. Materials and Methods. Uropathogens isolated from urine samples of patients of both gender older than 18 years of age with community-acquired UTI were collected in 21 centers of 17 cities in Russia during 2010–2011 and included in the «DARMIS» study. Results. Among the collected 518 strains isolated from adult patients 282 strains (54,4%) were isolated from urine of patients with cUTI.

Antimicrobial susceptibility testing is an important and one of the most time-consuming and expensive procedures in microbiological laboratory. Use of appropriate panel of antibiotics along with correct identification of isolated pathogen make it …

Objective. To determine the most effective antibiotics for therapy of infectious complications of prosthetic joint implantation caused by S. aureus and S. epidermidis. Materials and Methods. The antibiotic resistance profiles were determined for 535 clinical S. aureus and 211 S. epidermidis isolates. All the strains were isolated from the removed prosthesis and biological samples from patients with prosthetic joint infection (PJI). Susceptibility of clinical isolates was determined to 14 antibiotics according to EUCAST guidelines.

Objective. To determine bacterial pathogens causing ocular infections and their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns. Materials and Methods. This prospective microbiological study included a total of 235 isolates of aerobic microorganisms obtained from 235 patients in 10 Russian regions. Susceptibility to the following antimicrobials (ampicillin, amoxicillin, amoxicillin/clavulanate, oxacillin, penicillin, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, ofloxacin, norfloxacin, tobramycin, gentamicin, chloramphenicol, polymyxin B, tetracycline, and erythromycin) was determined using serial dilution method. Results. The most predominant pathogens in ocular infections were S.
