Author: DoernG V, JorgensenJ H, MaherL A, PrestonD A, ReddingJ S, ThornsberryC, TubertT
Original Abstract of the Article :
A total of 2,811 clinical isolates of Haemophilus influenzae were obtained during 1986 from 30 medical centers and one nationwide private independent laboratory in the United States. Among these, 757 (26.9%) were type b strains. The overall rate of beta-lactamase-mediated ampicillin resistance was 2...See full text at original site

National Collaborative Study of the Prevalence of Antimicrobial Resistance Among Clinical Isolates of Haemophilus influenzae
Antimicrobial resistance is a growing threat to public health, making it crucial to understand the prevalence of resistance in different bacteria. This study investigated the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance among clinical isolates of Haemophilus influenzae, a common bacterium causing infections, in the United States. Researchers analyzed 2,811 isolates collected from 30 medical centers and a nationwide private laboratory, examining their susceptibility to various antimicrobial agents. The study found that resistance to ampicillin, a common antibiotic, was significant. The study also found that resistance to other antibiotics, such as cefamandole, cefaclor, cephalothin, cephalexin, tetracycline, and chloramphenicol, was present, though less common.
Navigating the Desert of Antimicrobial Resistance
This study provides a valuable snapshot of the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance among Haemophilus influenzae isolates in the United States. This information is essential for guiding clinical decisions and developing strategies to combat antimicrobial resistance. Understanding the patterns of resistance is crucial for navigating the challenging landscape of infectious diseases.
The Shifting Sands of Resistance
This study highlights the ever-changing nature of antimicrobial resistance. It's like navigating a desert landscape where the sands constantly shift, creating new challenges for healthcare professionals. The researchers have provided a valuable map of the current landscape of resistance, guiding clinicians in their efforts to fight infections and preserve the effectiveness of antibiotics.
Dr.Camel's Conclusion
This study provides a crucial glimpse into the world of antimicrobial resistance. The researchers have charted the shifting sands of resistance, offering a clear picture of the challenges we face. The findings emphasize the need for continued surveillance and development of strategies to combat antimicrobial resistance, ensuring that we can continue to effectively treat infections in the future.
