Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Clinically relevant causative isolate (no duplicates) - The isolate must meet the laboratory criteria of significant pathogen and be considered the probable causative agent of a hospital or community acquired infection. * Sources - All body sites are acceptable clinical sources for isolates to be included in this study (Intra-abdominal infection, tracheal secretion/bronchoalveolar lavage, blood culture, wound smear). However, no more than 10 % of all isolates can come from urine cultures. * Within study group - Only isolates defined by the protocol are to be included.
Exclusion criteria
* Limited isolates from sources - No more than 10 % of all isolates from this study will be derived from urine cultures. * No banked or stored isolates. * No duplicate isolates - Only one isolate per patient is permitted. * Outside study group - Any isolate other than those defined by protocol.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Prior to 2009: Susceptibility data of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), MIC50, MIC90by pathogen, tested by E-test. | in vitro study therefore not applicable |
| Post-2009: Susceptibility data of MIC, MIC50, MIC90 by pathogen, tested by micro-dilution method | in vitro study therefore not applicable |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Prior to 2009: 1. Susceptibility data of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), MIC50, MIC90 by pathogen, tested by micro-dilution method 2. Susceptibility data of inhibition zone diameter(mm) by pathogen, tested by paper disc. | in vitro study therefore not applicable |
| Post-2009: Susceptibility data of inhibition zone diameter (mm) by pathogen, tested by paper disc. | in vitro study therefore not applicable |
