Antibiotic Resistance of Bacterial Agents Isolated in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in Eastern Turkey

Purpura fulminans due to Stenotrophomonas maltophilia infection in a premature infant

“…Most common agents are coagulase‐negative staphylococcus , gram‐negative baciili , enterococcus , Staphylococcus aureus and Candida spp 6 . In a recent study from our neonatal intensive care unit, the most frequent nosocomial infectious agents were S. aureus , and Klebsiella spp 7 …”

“…In a recent study from our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, the most frequent nosocomial infectious agents such Klebsiella and Psudomonas spp. were resistant to the seftazidime and amino glycosides and sensitive to meropenem and ciprofloxacin 7 …”

“…6 In a recent study from our neonatal intensive care unit, the most frequent nosocomial infectious agents were S. aureus , and Klebsiella spp. 7 The majority of clinical studies of S. maltophilia have focused on the adult population, and only a few reports, particularly a small series of individual cases, have described infection in children and infants. S. maltophilia was isolated from a wide variety of clinical sources, including blood, the respiratory tract, urine, wounds, and spinal fl uids and from environmental sources such as hospital water supplies, faucets, sink drains, respirators, prosthetic hearth devices and disinfectant solutions.…”

“…were resistant to the seftazidime and amino glycosides and sensitive to meropenem and ciprofl oxacin. 7 Senol et al 9 evaluated the attributable mortality of S. maltophilia bacteremia in a matched, retrospective, casecontrol study on adult patients and determined the mortality rate as 26.7%. This high mortality rate is also attributable in neonates who have an immature immune system.…”

Complementing the Surveillance Law Principles of the ECtHR with its Environmental Law Principles: An Integrated Technology Approach to a Human Rights Framework for Surveillance

“…The Court pointed out that when state or administrative authorities refuse or fail to comply with the rule of law (or even delay in doing so), the procedural guarantees enjoyed by a litigant 'are rendered devoid of purpose' . 130 Hence, the Court of Strasbourg said that in these circumstances national authorities 'deprived the procedural guarantees available to the applicants of any useful effect' 131 and so turned the right of access into a void expression.…”
