- Infections with antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a major threat to public health. Due to globalisation and poor use of antibiotics, resistance is spreading rapidly. Moreover, few new antibiotics have come onto the market in the last 20 years.AimIn this international project, researchers have been using the latest high-throughput screens to look for new combinations of drugs that can effectively…
- Researchers will determine the effectiveness of antibiotic stewardship programs in the intensive care unit and formulate recommendations for implementation.
- Kwetsbare ouderen die thuiszorg ontvangen of in een zorginstelling verblijven krijgen vaak antibiotica voorgeschreven. Bijna 60% daarvan komt voor rekening van urineweginfecties.
- Read more about the treatment of urinary tract infections (UTIs) without signs of tissue invasion (afebrile UTI (a-UTI)) in men in general practice
- View this project about measuring antibiotic levels with therapeutic drug monitoring to prevent increases in antimicrobial resistance.
- Resistance to antibiotics is increasing worldwide and alternatives are sought for antimicrobial treatment. AimThe overall purpose was to explore and identify antibiotics and non-antibiotics more active in combination than alone (called synergism) against multi- drug resistant bacteria. The tasks of the EMC involved the overall coordination of the project, identification of synergistic combinations…
- Resistance against β-lactam antibiotics is a serious health issue. Often it is caused by bacteria producing enzymes capable of inactivating these antibiotics, β-lactamases. This can be prevented by combining the antibiotic with a compound able to inhibit the bacterial enzyme. AimThe aim of this project was to find new β-lactamase inhibitors. To achieve this a large botanical extract library was…
