Antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections on the rise among U.S. children
The prevalence of an antibiotic-resistant bacteria called Enterobacteriaceae in children increased from 0.28% in 1999 to 0.92% in 2011, according to a study in the Journal of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society. The bacteria was detected in children of all ages, particularly among 1- to 5-year-olds. DoctorsLounge.com/HealthDay News (3/20)
Study identifies strain of Clostridium difficile associated with high mortality
The fluoroquinolone-resistant North American pulsed-field gel electrophoresis type 1, or NAP1, strain of Clostridium difficile is associated with greater likelihood of severe cases of the disease and death, according to an analysis of more than 2,000 infections in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases. The NAP1 strain was the most common in the cases analyzed. Antibiotic stewardship programs that promote the reduced use of fluoroquinolone can help decrease the risk of death, researchers suggest.
