Article Synopsis
  • - ESBL-producing bacteria are raising concerns in healthcare due to increasing antimicrobial resistance and higher patient morbidity, prompting the need for monitoring their prevalence and resistance patterns over a three-year study.
  • - The study analyzed 1,599 ESBL-producing bacterial samples, examining their resistance to 20 different antibiotics and noting significant trends in resistance and isolation, especially with certain bacteria potentially contributing to higher mortality rates in the future.
  • - Findings revealed a unique local phenotypical distribution of ESBL strains, with consistent efficacy of meropenem but limited effectiveness of other antibiotics, emphasizing the urgent need for ongoing surveillance and better management strategies in hospitals.

Background: Despite long-term use of infliximab (IFX) in IBD treatment, its optimized use is unclear due to its complicated pharmacokinetics/dynamics. Hence, the predictive value of IFX trough levels (TL) is important in treatment management.

Methods: We performed a prospective, cross-sectional, observational study with 74 IBD patients treated with IFX (mean 9.
