Antimicrobial resistance in hospitals: How concerned should we be?

Open access
Mulvey, M. R., Simor, A. E.·2009·Canadian Medical Association Journal

Abstract

The emergence of antibiotic-resistant organisms is a major public health concern, particularly in hospitals and other health care settings.[1][1],[2][2] Antibiotic-resistant organisms appear to be biologically fit and are capable of causing serious, life-threatening infections that are difficult to

    “Whether antibiotic resistance is intrinsic or acquired, the genetic determinants of resistance encode specific biochemical resistance mechanisms that may include enzymatic inactivation of the drug, alterations to the structure of the antibiotic target site, and changes that prevent access of an adequate concentration…”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
