Extensively drug-resistant bacteria are an independent predictive factor of mortality in 130 patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis or spontaneous bacteremia

Abstract: XDR bacteria are an independent life-threatening factor in SBP/SB. Strategies aiming at restricting antibiotic overuse and rapid identification of the responsible bacteria could help improve survival.

“…Antibiotic resistance has been a serious sequala in SBP patients and may be seen in as high as 78% of these patients (7). Multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) strains have been described in 20% and 10% of SBP patients, respectively (12). This phenomenon further signifies the importance of identifying microbial causes of SBP.…”

“…Alexopoulou ve ark. (19) spontan bakteriyel peritonitli veya spontan bakteriyemisi olan 130 dekompanse siroz hastasında yaptıkları prospektif çalışmada 30 günlük sağkalımın XDR bakteriler ile enfekte grupta, MDR ve ilaca dirençli olmayan 'non-drug resistant (non-DR)' gruptaki hastalara göre daha kötü olduğunu bildirmişlerdir. Bu çalışmada XDR bakteriler ile enfekte hastaların mortalite oranı %69,2 iken MDR ve non-DR grubun mortalite oranı %34,2 olarak bildirilmiştir.…”
