  2. Multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multidrug-resistant_gram...

    Multidrug resistant Gram-negative bacteria (MDRGN bacteria) are a type of Gram-negative bacteria with resistance to multiple antibiotics. They can cause bacteria infections that pose a serious and rapidly emerging threat for hospitalized patients and especially patients in intensive care units . [ 1 ]

  3. Multiple drug resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_drug_resistance

    Multiple drug resistance (MDR), multidrug resistance or multiresistance is antimicrobial resistance shown by a species of microorganism to at least one antimicrobial drug in three or more antimicrobial categories. [1] Antimicrobial categories are classifications of antimicrobial agents based on their mode of action and specific to target ...

  4. Urinary anti-infective agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urinary_anti-infective_agent

    Urinary tract infection in pediatric patients is a significant clinical issue, affecting approximately 7% of fevered infants and children. [43] If left untreated, the infection can ascend from the bladder to the kidneys, resulting in acute pyelonephritis, which leads to hypertension , kidney scarring , and end-stage kidney disease .

  5. Carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbapenem-resistant_enter...

    This study found that carbapenem-resistant acquisition has a significantly higher mortality rate and poorer clinical response compared to that of the ertapenem-resistance acquisition. [citation needed] Bacteruria (also known as urinary tract infection) caused by CRKp and CSKp have similar risk factors. These include prior antibiotic use ...

  6. Acinetobacter baumannii - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acinetobacter_baumannii

    Acinetobacter baumannii is a typically short, almost round, rod-shaped (coccobacillus) Gram-negative bacterium.It is named after the bacteriologist Paul Baumann. [2] It can be an opportunistic pathogen in humans, affecting people with compromised immune systems, and is becoming increasingly important as a hospital-derived infection.

  7. List of antibiotic-resistant bacteria - Wikipedia

    The evolution of bacteria on a "Mega-Plate" petri dish A list of antibiotic resistant bacteria is provided below. These bacteria have shown antibiotic resistance (or antimicrobial resistance). Gram positive Clostridioides difficile Clostridioides difficile is a nosocomial pathogen that causes diarrheal disease worldwide. Diarrhea caused by C. difficile can be life-threatening. Infections are ...

  8. Multidrug-resistant bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multidrug-resistant_bacteria

    One major drawback to phage therapy is the evolution of phage-resistant microbes which was seen in a majority of phage therapy experiments aimed to treat sepsis and intestinal infection. [10] Recent studies suggest that development of phage resistance comes as a trade-off for antibiotic resistance and can be used to create antibiotic-sensitive ...

  9. Pluralibacter gergoviae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluralibacter_gergoviae

    Pluralibacter gergoviae is resistant to penicillins (specifically benzylpenicillin, oxacillin), macrolides (with the exception of azithromycin), lincosamides (specifically lincomycin and clindamycin), streptogramins, rifampicin, fusidic acid, and fosfomycin. [8] P. gergoviae is also resistant to cefoxitin, likely due to β-lactamase production. [8]
