Resistant Gram-Positive Bacterial Infections

Abstract

With the developing technology, the life expectancy of people such as immunosuppressive and elderly patients have increased, but the treatments and invasive procedures applied have increased with age. Thus, the emergence of healthcare-associated, hospital-acquired infections in these individuals has emerged as an inevitable result. In nosocomial infections and epidemics, the importance and contribution of the microbiology laboratory is great in terms of identifying the agent, determining the antibiotic resistance profile, determining the source, and taking the necessary precautions. Resistant Gram-positive bacterial infections are common infections in these individuals and have led to increased antibiotic-resistant treatment failures and even deaths over the years. In this review, we planned to classify resistant Gram-positive bacterial infections, review them in the light of the literature, and discuss what can be done to prevent them.

Dirençli Gram Pozitif Bakteri Enfeksiyonları

Abstract

Gelişen teknoloji ile birlikte immünsüpresif ve yaşlı hastalar gibi kişilerin yaşam beklentisi uzamış ancak yaşla birlikte uygulanan tedaviler ve invaziv işlemler uzamıştır. Böylece bu bireylerde sağlık hizmeti ilişkili, hastane kaynaklı enfeksiyonların ortaya çıkması kaçınılmaz bir sonuç olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Hastane enfeksiyonlarında ve salgınlarda etkenin belirlenmesi, antibiyotik direnç profilinin belirlenmesi, kaynağın belirlenmesi ve gerekli önlemlerin alınması açısından mikrobiyoloji laboratuvarının önemi ve katkısı büyüktür. Dirençli Gram-pozitif bakteriyel enfeksiyonlar, bu bireylerde sık görülen enfeksiyonlardır ve yıllar içinde antibiyotiğe dirençli tedavi başarısızlıklarının ve hatta ölümlerin artmasına neden olmuştur. Bu derlemede dirençli Gram pozitif bakteriyel enfeksiyonları sınıflandırmayı, literatür ışığında gözden geçirmeyi ve önlemek için neler yapılabileceğini tartışmayı planladık.
