The emergence and rapid spread of gram-negative bacteria resistant to carbapenems among newborns is concerning on a global scale. Nonetheless, the pooled estimate carbapenem that cause neonatal sepsis in developing nations remains unknown. Thus, this study aimed determine combined prevalence African who were suspected having sepsis.

ABSTRACT Fosfomycin, a broad-spectrum antibiotic used for uncomplicated cystitis, represents potential promising candidate in combating resistant pneumonia. To facilitate the transition of fosfomycin to broader indications, including pneumonia, minimal physiologically based pharmacokinetics (m-PBPK) model was developed on data from plasma, epithelial lining fluid (ELF), and alveolar macrophages (AMs) obtained 37 healthy participants recently completed intrapulmonary PK study. Utilizing this mechanistic m-PBPK enabled us predict drug concentrations at infection site pneumonia patients, taking into consideration pathophysiological changes occurring during infection. Our prediction shows that reduced, while plasma levels remain unchanged. Monte Carlo simulations were conducted evaluate probability target attainment (PTA) various dosing regimens infused over 1 h against major hospital-acquired pathogens ELF. PTA analysis suggested if are appropriate efficacy indicator, dose 4 g q8h is sufficient Pseudomonas aeruginosa Staphylococcus aureus infections. However, ELF more accurate only effective S. For P. 6 recommended, with an even higher 8 necessary patients. In conclusion, our provides critical insights treatment, guiding clinical study design. Furthermore, it serves as platform other antibiotics.

Abstract Background Currently, carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) are becoming a global public health threat. Infections caused by these bacteria limit treatment options and associated with high morbidity mortality. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of CPE identify risk factors. Methods A hospital-based cross-sectional was conducted from June August 2023. Clinical samples were cultured, species identification performed using standard biochemical tests. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing done, modified carbapenem inactivation method employed confirm carbapenemase production. Data entered Epi analysed SPSS. Results From total 143 isolates, most commonly identified Escherichia coli (62 43.4%) Klebsiella pneumoniae (39 27.3%). The highest level resistance against ampicillin (138 96.5%), whereas lowest observed meropenem (19 13.3%). Overall, 123 isolates (86.0%) classified as MDR. carbapenem-resistant (CRE) 5.7% 8.1%, respectively. K. E. common producers. Chronic underlying disease, consuming raw vegetables, lack regular hand-washing habits before meals showed adjusted odds ratios 7.9 (95% CI 1.9–31.5), 11 3.4–40) 8.0 1.7–85), respectively, showing significant association. Conclusions underscores need for urgent infection control measures. Implementing antimicrobial stewardship, strengthening measures, further molecular studies vital combating this problem.

Access to safe and effective antibiotics is crucial in low- middle-income countries (LMICs) coupled with reducing overuse reduce antimicrobial resistance (AMR). We sought systematically analyze the extent of branded generic Pakistan particularly Watch given concerns AMR Pakistan. Data on registered was collected from Drug Regulatory Authority (DRAP) Pharmaguides. 257 were analyzed using AWaRe classification. Of these, 99 including 91 single entities 8 combinations, 6,025 brands 14,076 presentations. Distribution across categories included - 37, 56, Reserve 6. Cephalosporins (2186 brands, 6447 presentations) Quinolones (1333 2586 are most prevalent, Ciprofloxacin (393 1158 leading brand presentation counts. 6 WHO Essential Medicines List lacked Pakistan, while many available not framework. Conclusion: Extensive availability generics poses a serious risk, exacerbated by current misuse antibiotics. Improving regulatory frameworks strengthening stewardship critical along addressing uncontrolled registration DRAP.

In Africa, the problem of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) is aggravated by many factors. This systematic review attempted to describe current status molecular epidemiology carbapenem resistance in West Africa (WA). Articles published from 16 African countries on were reviewed. An extensive literature search was carried out PubMed, Scopus, Web Science, and Journals Online (AJOL) using specific keywords. The meta-analysis forest plots major pathogens genes done Open Meta-Analyst, Task Order # 2 software. data analysed binary random model effects DerSimonian-Laird method at a 95% confidence interval. Of 431 articles found our initial search, 60 (13.92%) considered suitable for inclusion. Only seven formed part analysis, Nigeria (23/60), Ghana (19/60), Burkina Faso (7/60), Senegal (6/60), Benin (2/60), Mali Togo (1/60). Also, 80% (48/60) studies used clinical samples, 16.67% (10/60) environmental 3.33% (2/60) animal samples. average prevalence highest Acinetobacter baumannii (18.6%; CI = 14.0-24.6, I2 97.9%, p < 0.001), followed Pseudomonas aeruginosa (6.5%; 3.1–13.4, 96.52%, Klebsiella pneumoniae (5.8%; 4.2–7.9, 98.06%, 0.001) Escherichia coli (4.1%; 2.2–7.7, 96.68%, 0.001). blaNDM gene 10.6% (95% 7.9–14.3, 98.2%, 3.9% CI: 1.8–8.3, 96.73%, blaVIM 3.1% 1.7–5.8, 91.69%, blaOXA-48. K. pneumoniae, E. coli, A. baumannii, P. are main CRE with blaNDM, blaVIM, blaOXA-48 being predominant genes. view these results, ongoing surveillance combined antimicrobial stewardship improved, laboratory detection methods, adherence infection control practices will be needed spread CRE.
