- Abstract
With the changing epidemiology of either community-acquired or nosocomial infections, microbial resistance patterns have been rapidly changing. The increasingly daunting problem of antimicrobial resistance has led to an intense focus on optimization of antibiotic therapy. Recent epidemiological studies suggest an increase in nosocomial infections caused by gramnegative bacteria, particularly Klebsiella spp., Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter spp. Optimization of therapy against these organisms starts with the initial empirical antibiotic choice. Surveillance data and hospital or unit antibiograms may inform this decision. Several nosocomial pediatric infectious diseases that some gram-negative bacteria will be reviewed briefly in this article with regard to microbial resistance patterns and treatment approaches.
