- |||||||||| Journal: Associations between ?-Lactamase Types of Acinetobacter baumannii and Antimicrobial Resistance. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 30, 2023
The frequency of isolation of A. baumannii strains producing two different types of ?-lactamases (AmpC plus KPC, AmpC plus ESBL, or ESBL plus KPC) or three types of ?-lactamases (AmpC, KPC, and ESBL) and the resistance rates to ampicillin/sulbactam, tigecycline, tetracycline, and doxycycline were significantly greater in 2020-2021 as compared with 2016-2017. The production of two or three types of ?-lactamases by A. baumannii strains was associated with higher resistance rates to tetracyclines.

Journal: Multidrug-Resistant Salmonella Species and Their Mobile Genetic Elements from Poultry Farm Environments in Malaysia. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 26, 2023 Furthermore, mutations in the quinolone resistant-determining regions (QRDR) were discovered, specifically in the gyrA, gyrB, and parC genes. In short, surveillance such as continuous monitoring of antimicrobial resistance and emerging trends in resistance patterns through farm environmental samples could provide information to formulate public health interventions for effective infection prevention and disease control.

The Allergy Avengers: The Role of Sugammadex in Rocuronium-Induced Anaphylaxis in an Epic Battle for Safety! (Exhibit Hall) - Aug 23, 2023 - Abstract #ASA2023ASA_5924; Epinephrine infusion was continued on admission to the ICU, and serum tryptase levels were elevated upon investigation. We will discuss the importance of promptly recognizing and managing perioperative differentials, cardiopulmonary sequelae, and the role of Sugammadex in anaphylaxis in the setting of neuromuscular blockade use.

Retropharyngeal Dissection During Nasotracheal Intubation (Exhibit Hall) - Aug 23, 2023 - Abstract #ASA2023ASA_4205; It was immediately removed with successful placement of a smaller Parker flex tip tube through the other nare. The patient remained intubated in the ICU and received ampicillin-sulbactam and decadron but was unable to be weaned from the ventilator and required subsequent tracheostomy.

Journal, MRI: The Usefulness of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Management of Acute Phlegmonous Esophagitis. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 12, 2023 Given the improvement of the patient's condition with conservative treatment with ampicillin/sulbactam, the CT findings suggested an apparent abscess due to increased esophageal wall thickness...Thus, our findings demonstrate the utility of MRI in the treatment planning of acute phlegmonous esophagitis, especially in cases with unreliable contrast-enhanced CT findings. However, future studies are warranted to explore the utility of MRI in the management of such cases.

Bifidobacterium Osteomyelitis and Discitis in a Male with Alcoholic Cirrhosis (Exhibit Hall) - Jul 29, 2023 - Abstract #ACG2023ACG_3065; The use of prebiotics and probiotics, including honey, requires caution in patients with cirrhosis. Figure: MRI of the lumbar spine with IV contrast that demonstrates osteomyelitis/discitis of L1-L2 with a small epidural abscess measuring 0.6 x 1.2 x 1.1 cm.

She started on IV Vancomycin 1g daily and IV ampicillin-sulbactam 3g every six hours based on culture results and sensitivities...She was discharged on oral amoxicillin-clavulanic acid 875-25mg for ten days...Since bacteremia is a significant complication of this procedure, future studies can be performed to analyze outcomes of bacterial translocation in patients treated with antibiotics either before or after this procedure. Thus, our case demonstrates the importance of further research into approaches to mitigate the associated risk of bacteremia following spyglass cholangioscopy.

Journal: Community-acquired S. aureus infection in childhood: a multi-center study. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 7, 2023 The study was not able to show reliable clinical variables or epidemiological risk factors except for being a refugee for CA-MRSA infections. Empirical antibiotic treatment should therefore be determined according to the local CA-MRSA prevalence in patients presenting with a possible staphylococcus infection.

Acute generalized pustular bacterid: an unusually confusing diagnostic journey () - Jul 3, 2023 - Abstract #WCD2023WCD_4351; Treatment with sulbactam/ampicillin and prednisolone was initiated...KEY MESSAGE: Many conditions cause generalized pustulosis, and careful deliberation of each differential is required to achieve an accurate diagnosis. Although a set of diagnostic criteria for AGPB exists, they need to be adapted and interepreted in context of the investigations that are currently available
