Kalkulierte parenterale Initialtherapie bakterieller Infektionen: Infektionen durch multiresistente gramnegative Stäbchen – ESBL-Bildner, Carbapenemase-bildende Enterobacteriaceae, Carbapenem-resistente Acinetobacter baumannii

Abstract

This is the sixteenth chapter of the guideline “Calculated initial parenteral treatment of bacterial infections in adults – update 2018” in the 2 updated version. The German guideline by the Paul-Ehrlich-Gesellschaft für Chemotherapie e.V. (PEG) has been translated to address an international audience.Infections due to multiresistant Gram-negative rods are challenging. In this chapter recommendations for targeted therapy for infections caused by ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae, carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae and carbapenem-resistant are given, based on the limited available evidence.
