ABSTRACT From January 2003 to December 2005, 5091 susceptibility test results from
invasive isolates of Escherichia coli, collected from blood cultures and cerebrospinal fluid …

In Europe, antimicrobial resistance of invasive pathogens has been monitored since 1998
by the European Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System (EARSS). The goal of this …

Sporadic reports from centres in the south and east of the Mediterranean have suggested
that the prevalence of antibiotic resistance in this region appears to be considerable, yet pan …

The increase in bacterial antibiotic resistance is of major concern worldwide, but pertinent
epidemiologic studies have used strongly divergent approaches and are widely scattered in …

To address the public health problem of antimicrobial resistance, the European Union
founded the European Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System. A network of 32 …

Surveillance of antibiotic resistance can be undertaken by compilation of routine data or by
central testing of isolates. Routine results can be obtained cheaply and in sufficient …

Antibiotic resistance patterns of more than 120 000 clinical Escherichia coli isolates were
retrospectively analysed. Isolates originated from both hospitalized patients and outpatients …

A study of the incidence of resistance to antimicrobial drugs in Escherichia coli from blood
and CSF made in England and Wales in the 6-year period 1991–1996 has demonstrated a …

The authors report 3 studies on E. coli resistance to antibacterial agents issued from several
sources in the Auvergne. E. coli was isolated from 77%(47 strains) of the community …

Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) isolates are a main cause of
bloodstream infections. The aim of this study was to characterize 256 β-lactam–resistant …
