Frequency of isolation and antimicrobial susceptibility of bacteria isolated from bloodstream infections at Children's Medical Center, Tehran, Iran, 1996–2000

Bacteriologic Profile and Antimicrobial Resistance of Blood Culture Isolates of Septicemic Patients from Various Intensive Care Units in a Teaching Tertiary Care Institute of Haryana, India

“…Overall, 63.1% of septicaemia was caused by Grampositive and 29.7% by Gram negative bacilli and remaining 7.1% by Candida spp. this was in accordance with (Dagnew, Mulat et al, 2013) (M S Alam et al, 2011) and (Mamishi S et al, 2005) Like many other studies Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus were among the major blood culture isolates; however, given that CONS isolated from blood are often contaminants(> 85% are clinically insignificant) their antibiotic susceptibility was not determined. (Roy, et al, 2002) In conclusion, Knowledge of the causative agents of bacteremia is useful in the selection of antimicrobials for empiric therapy.…”

Distribution, Optimum Detection Time and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Rates of the Microorganisms Isolated from Blood Cultures over a 4-Year Time Period in a Turkish University Hospital and a Review of the International Literature

“…46 Various researchers have reported that resistance to vancomycin is 7 -21% for S. aureus strains 26,47 and 1.4 -11% for CNS. 26,27 In contrast, some researchers have reported no resistance of CNS and S. aureus strains to vancomycin in concordance with the findings of the present study. 27,34,46 Similarly we found no resistance to vancomycin for staphylococci and enterococci.…”

“…27,34,46 Similarly we found no resistance to vancomycin for staphylococci and enterococci. Some previous reports have also failed to show vancomycin resistance in enterococci, 26,27,34 however two different studies reported vancomycin resistance rates to enterococci to be 6.1% and 0.4 -10.3%. 45,48 The frequent administration of β-lactam antibiotics, broad-spectrum cephalosporins and quinolones in hospitals creates an environment in which multi-drug resistant microorganisms can flourish.…”

Antibiotic Resistance in Blood Culture Samples from Patients Referred to Razi Laboratory of Rasht, 2006-2011

“…In Momeishi and colleagues' study 2005, the most common bacteria in blood cultures, respectively, were: coagulase negative staphylococci, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella, E. coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa [13]. In the present study, coagulase negative Staphylococcus, E. coli, Pseudomonas, Klebsiella and Staphylococcus coagulase positive, respectively, the most common microorganisms in blood cultures were positive.…”
