Objectives:
We investigated whether patients with cryptococcal meningitis (CM) or fungaemia detected through South Africa's laboratory cryptococcal antigen (CrAg) screening programme had better outcomes than those presenting directly to hospital.
Methods:
We compared 14-day in-hospital case-fatality ratios (CFR) of HIV-seropositive individuals w...
Background:
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common infections during pregnancy, which can lead to significant maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality if left untreated. Challenges when treating UTIs in pregnancy include fetal protection and resistance development of uropathogens. Currently, the Essential Medicines List reco...
Enhanced surveillance for CREs was established at national sentinel sites in South Africa. We aimed to apply an epidemiological and microbiological approach to characterise CREs and to assess trends in antimicrobial resistance from patients admitted to tertiary academic hospitals. A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients of all ages with...
Introduction:
Antimicrobial resistant bacterial infections are widespread globally and increases in antimicrobial resistance presents a major threat to public health. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic healthcare-associated pathogen with high rates of morbidity and mortality and an extensive range of resistance mechanisms. This study descr...
Introduction:
We aimed to obtain an in-depth understanding on recent antimicrobial resistance trends and molecular epidemiology trends of S. aureus bacteraemia (SAB).
Methods:
Thirteen academic centres in South Africa were included from June 2010 until July 2012. S. aureus susceptibility testing was performed on the MicroScan Walkaway. Real-time...
