Impact of rational antibiotic usage on occurrence of vancomycin-resistant enterococci in hematological patients

Original language description

Objectives: The hematological patients are jeopardised by staphylococci and enterococci from the group of Gram-positive bacteria. Especially great danger for the hematological patients are the vancomycin-resistant enterococci that may be a very big therapeutic problem in some cases. Methods: Enterococci were isolated from clinical samples of patients hospitalised at the Department of Hemato-oncology of University Hospital in Olomouc, Czech Republic, during period 1995-2000. The usage of antibiotics wasexpressed as the number of defined daily doses (DDD) per 1000 bed-days (RDDD) during the observation periods according to the following formula: RDDD=DDD x 1000/NB (NB=number of bed-days). To evaluate the selection pressure of antibiotics and occurrenceof VRE, we used each six-month interval from 1st half of 1997 to 1st half of 2000. Results: In total, 1918 strains were isolated in the Department of Hemato-oncology, from which 138 (7.2%) were identified as VRE. The percentage of VRE in
