Infectious Disease - Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (Diagnosis)
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of this study was to compare the frequency of occurrence of digestive carrying of 3rd generation cephalosporin-resistant enterobacteriaceae (EB C3G-R), acquired during hospitalization in one of the participating departments, between patients treated with ceftriaxone and patients treated with cefotaxime
Interventions
Systematic use of cefotaxime.
Rectal swab every 3 days during hospitalization and then 30 days after the first antibiotic infusion
ceftriaxone or cefotaxime infusion at the discretion of the prescribing physician

stepped-wedge design
Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Age ≥ 18 years old * Indication for antibiotic treatment with a 3rd generation injectable cephalosporin (cefotaxime or ceftriaxone) * Signed Informed Consent
Exclusion criteria
* Hypersensitivity to ceftriaxone or cefotaxime, to another cephalosporin or to any of the excipients of the specialities concerned. * History of severe hypersensitivity (e.g., anaphylactic reaction) to another class of antibacterial agent of the beta-lactam family (penicillins, monobactams and carbapenes) * Subcutaneous administration of ceftriaxone * Pregnant and breastfeeding woman * Suspicion of Pseudomonas infection or documented Pseudomonas infection requiring ceftazidime treatment * Suspicion of group III enterobacteriaceae infection or group III enterobacteriaceae infection requiring cefepime treatment
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Frequency of occurrence of digestive carrying of EB C3G-R | 30 days after inclusion | Frequency of occurrence of digestive carrying of EB C3G-R |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| incidence rate of EB C3G-R infections | 2 years | Evaluate the effect of systematic use of cefotaxime rather than ceftriaxone on the incidence rate of EB C3G-R infections in participating departments. |
| number of patients with occurrence of positive rectal swab with 3rd generation cephalosporin-resistant enterobacteriaceae (EB C3G-R) | 30 days after inclusion | Compare the number of patients with occurrence of positive rectal swab with 3rd generation cephalosporin-resistant enterobacteriaceae (EB C3G-R), 30 days after inclusion, between patients treated with ceftriaxone and patients treated with cefotaxime. |
