Global burden of bacterial antimicrobial resistance in 2019: a systematic analysis

Christopher J. L. Murray et al.

Summary: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant threat to global human health, and this study provides the most comprehensive estimates of AMR burden to date. By estimating deaths and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) associated with bacterial AMR in 204 countries and territories in 2019, the study highlights the impact of resistance and the leading pathogen-drug combinations contributing to it.

The challenge of preventing and containing outbreaks of multidrug-resistant organisms and Candida auris during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic: report of a carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii outbreak and a systematic review of the literature

Reto Thoma et al.

Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic, hospitals have experienced outbreaks of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO), mainly caused by CRAB and C. auris. Inadequate adherence to personal protective equipment/hand hygiene, PPE shortage, and high antibiotic use were the most commonly reported potentially modifiable factors contributing to these outbreaks.

Association of Nonpharmaceutical Interventions During the COVID-19 Pandemic With Invasive Pneumococcal Disease, Pneumococcal Carriage, and Respiratory Viral Infections Among Children in France

Alexis Rybak et al.

Summary: This study examined the impact of nonpharmaceutical interventions implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic on the incidence of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in France. The results showed that the decrease in IPD incidence was associated with decreased viral infection cases, rather than changes in pneumococcal carriage rate.

Antibiotic prescribing in patients with COVID-19: rapid review and meta-analysis

Bradley J. Langford et al.

Summary: The study estimated that approximately three-quarters of patients with COVID-19 receive antibiotic treatment, which is significantly higher than the estimated prevalence of bacterial co-infection. This suggests a potential for high rates of unnecessary antibiotic use in patients with COVID-19.

Prevalence and outcomes of co-infection and superinfection with SARS-CoV-2 and other pathogens: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Jackson S. Musuuza et al.

Summary: Our study found that as many as 19% of patients with COVID-19 had co-infections and 24% had superinfections. The presence of either co-infection or superinfection was associated with poor outcomes, such as increased mortality.

The interface between COVID-19 and bacterial healthcare-associated infections

Ronan F. O'Toole

Summary: Recent data indicate the occurrence of hospital-onset bacterial infections, including antibiotic-resistant isolates, in COVID-19 patients. COVID-19 has impacted bacterial healthcare-associated infections in several ways, with recommended guidelines focusing on minimizing broad-spectrum antibiotic use in patient treatment.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the surveillance, prevention and control of antimicrobial resistance: a global survey

Sara Tomczyk et al.

Summary: The survey on the global impact of COVID-19 on AMR among GLASS countries revealed reduced availability of healthcare and cleaning staff, which could bias AMR surveillance data. Additionally, most countries still lack complete data to measure the specific impact of COVID-19 on AMR rates.

A five-component infection control bundle to permanently eliminate a carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii spreading in an intensive care unit

Marianna Meschiari et al.

Summary: By reinforcing hand hygiene, extending screening, implementing contact precautions, increasing environmental sampling, and using a cycling radical environmental cleaning and disinfection procedure, the spread of CRAB in the ICU was effectively controlled. Cohorting, admission restrictions, or ICU closures were not necessary.
