The influence of antibiotic use on the occurrence of vancomycin-resistant enterococci

Abstract: While our study confirms the effect of use of glycopeptides and third-generation cephalosporins on occurrence of VRE, no influence of quinolones and lincosamides over the 6-year period was shown.

“…Among these resistant strains were vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA) [2]. The emergence of these strains was attributed to excessive and inappropriate use of vancomycin [1][2][3]. The Hospital Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee (HICPAC), a subcommittee of the United States' Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), released a protocol on the proper use of vancomycin and managing patients infected with resistant bacteria [4][5].…”

“…En el caso de cefazolina, su penetración obedece en parte a su utilización profilác-tica en varias condiciones. El mercado de las cefalosporinas tiene un alcance mundial y se ha asociado a la emergencia de complejas resistencias hacia estos mismos compuestos en bacilos gramnegativos productores de BLEE (β-lactamasas de espectro extendido), a la aparición de Enterococcus sp resistente a vancomicina o a un mayor riesgo de candiduria para citar algunos ejemplos 3,5,19,20 . En tercer lugar, se logró identificar algunos factores que se asociaron significativamente a las variaciones observadas en el consumo de diferentes compuestos.…”

“…Una de ellas, la evaluación del consumo en Dosis Diaria Definida (DDD) por 100 días camas, que refleja cuántos pacientes cada 100 están recibiendo diariamente un tratamiento específico, ha sido ampliamente utilizada y ha permitido comparar diferentes escenarios, tendencias, asociación con resistencia y en forma más importante, el efecto de diferentes medidas de intervención [1][2][3][4][5] .…”

“…This is of great concern as it contributes to failure of therapy leading to poor prognosis, prolonged hospital stay and increased cost of therapy [11]. Therefore, to reduce the development of AM resistance regulation of their use is essential [12,13]. These regulations can be customized to suit the requirements of the institution.…”
