The use of molecular typing to evaluate the dissemination of antimicrobial resistance among Gram-negative rods in Brazilian hospitals.

Abstract excerpt

Antimicrobial resistance has increased rapidly in Brazil and worldwide during the past few years, giving rise to a growing necessity for antimicrobial resistance surveillance programs. These programs have been instituted in order to monitor bacterial resistance in various regions, and to guide empirical antimicrobial therapy. We evaluated the use of molecular typing in multicenter surveillance programs. We also...
