The impact of fluoroquinolones use on antibiotic resistance in an intensive care burn department.

Background: Fluoroquinolones (FQ) use has been identified as a risk factor for colonization and infection to methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA), Pseudomonas aeruginosae multiresistant(PMR), Acinetobacter multiresistant (AMR) and multidrug resistant bacteria(MDRB).

Aim: Our study proposes to measure the annual antibiotic use of FQ and antimicrobial resistance in P. aeruginosa, S.

[Evolution of antibiotic consumption in an intensive care burn department].

Background: The increasing consumption of antibiotics in hospitals and the economic implications of this increase lead to survey this consumption in the various hospital units.

Aim: Our study proposes to measure the annual antibiotic use and antimicrobial resistance in an intensive care Burn department in order to manage the control measures.

Methods: The study was conducted during a 5 year period (1 January 2000 to 31 December 2004).

Association between antibiotic use and changes in susceptibility patterns of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in an intensive care burn unit: a 5-year study, 2000-2004.

This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between antimicrobial resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and annual antibiotic use in a burn unit. From 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2004, 203 non-repetitive strains of Ps. aeruginosa were recovered from various clinical specimens.
