A typical scenario in the setting of the Hematology ward is a patient who developed a rash while on multiple antibiotics for treatment of neutropenic sepsis, which set in after chemotherapy.
By this method, receipt of multiple antibiotics has additive effects on the measure (e.g. a resident who receives 5 days of ceftriaxone and 5 days of azithromycin would generate 10 DOT even if both antibiotics are administered on the same day).
When multiple antibiotics are prescribed to one patient, all antibiotics will be registered.
With the increase in mutations of microbial organisms, developing resistance to multiple antibiotics, and the continuing emphasis on health-care costs, many scientists researchers are trying to develop novel, cost effective antimicrobial agents.
Exposure to multiple antibiotics further increases the level of stress on the bacterium and a reduced target protein yield is often observed.
We placed him on intravenous fluids, pain medication, multiple antibiotics, anti-vomiting medication, and gastrointestinal protectants.
In other words, the use of any one antibiotic can yield resistance to multiple antibiotics.
Some of the global aspects of the problem can be illustrated by last year's description of NDM-1, a protein present on plasmids that confers antibiotic resistance to multiple antibiotics.
To our knowledge this is the first report on application of ZnO quantum dots to kill multiple antibiotics and serum resistant K. pneumoniae strain.
"The use of any one antibiotic can lead to a drug resistance to multiple antibiotics," said Kar.
