Comparing the Outcomes of Adults With Enterobacteriaceae Bacteremia Receiving Short-Course Versus Prolonged-Course Antibiotic Therapy in a Multicenter, Propensity Score–Matched Cohort

Abstract: Short courses of antibiotic therapy yield similar clinical outcomes as prolonged courses of antibiotic therapy for Enterobacteriaceae bacteremia, and may protect against subsequent MDRGN bacteria.

“…assigned with 7 stars (10, 11) (4 for selection, 1 for comparability, and 2 for outcome [10]; 4 for selection and 3 for outcome [11]), 1 study was assigned with 8 stars (4 for selection, 1 for comparability, and 3 for outcome) (20), and another 1 was assigned with 5 stars (4 for selection and 1 for outcome) (21). The source of bacteremia in the included studies accounted for urinary tract (54.8%), biliary/gastrointestinal tract infection (13.8%), intra-abdominal (5%), primary/central venous catheter-related bacteremia (4.8%), pneumonia (3.6%), soft tissue infection (1.4%), and other/unknown sources.…”

“…For example, optimal duration of treatment for endocarditis caused by methicillin-susceptible S. aureus may be shorter than for that caused by MRSA [136]. Similarly, although 7-10 days of therapy is appropriate for treatment of uncomplicated gram-negative bacteremia in immunocompetent hosts [137,138], uncomplicated S. aureus bacteremia requires a longer course of therapy to effect cure [139][140][141], likely because of unrecognized seeding [142]. Integrity of host immunity may also affect clearance of infection, so antimicrobial therapy for infection in neutropenic pediatric patients with cancer is often continued until resolution of neutropenia [78].…”
