  • ||||||||||  Review, Journal:  Fluoroquinolone Resistance in Escherichia coli Causing Community-Acquired Urinary Tract Infections: A Systematic Review. (Pubmed Central) -  Nov 27, 2024   
    Several studies have addressed the prevalence of uropathogens producing ESBLs, but only a few have focused on fluoroquinolone resistance, and, to our knowledge, none have addressed the prevalence of phylotypes or genes responsible for antimicrobial resistance to fluoroquinolones. The focus of the present review was to analyze recently published papers that described the E. coli phylotype causing community-acquired UTIs in association with fluoroquinolone resistance.

    However, 60% of the E. coli isolates and 25% of the Klebsiella isolates were multidrug resistant (MDR; resistant to at least one antibiotic agent in three or more antimicrobial categories). The study shows that T2DM patients have bacteria in their urine which are resistant to most common antibiotics, even among those with no history of UTIs; hence, routine bacterial culture and antibiotic sensitivity testing among T2DM patients is recommended for better patient management to reduce the co-morbidities of UTIs.

    Unfortunately he could not tolerate high doses of sulfasalazine and hydroxychloroquine was introduced, which again he could not tolerate...Incidentally, it picked up tree-in-bud changes in the lower lungs in keeping with possible chest infection, treated with two weeks of levofloxacin...He was on 17.5 mg of oral prednisolone, which was incrementally increased to 80 mg in light of rifampicin effect...Lastly, this case report represents a case of GCA occurring in a patient already on adalimumab and methotrexate (a steroid-sparing agent for GCA)...This case is complex, demonstrating an unusual presentation of GCA in the context of a patient already on immunosuppression, who subsequently developed military TB despite a negative pre-immunosuppression screen and no risk factors for TB. It contributes to the ongoing discussion about the need for TB screening in all DMARD-naive patients.
