Review of Fluoroquinolone Restriction Implementation Modifications for C. difficile Prevention
Hospital plans to stop risky drugs often changed during real-world rollout
This review analyzes modifications to fluoroquinolone restriction implementation strategies from the FIRST trial across four diverse hospita…
Plans to limit risky fluoroquinolones often changed during rollout. Rural hospitals needed more tweaks than academic centers.
Systematic review and meta-analysis of Salmonella prevalence and AMR in global wild birds
Wild Birds Are Picking Up Drug-Resistant Germs—And It’s Getting Worse
This systematic review and meta-analysis synthesizes data on Salmonella prevalence and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) patterns across global…
Wild birds are becoming living carriers of drug-resistant bacteria, and that poses a growing risk to human health worldwide.
Narrative review explores links between antibiotic exposure and obesity or metabolic phenotypes
Your Gut Bacteria Remember Every Antibiotic You've Ever Taken
This narrative review examines potential associations between antibiotic exposure and obesity or metabolic phenotypes.
Antibiotics may alter your gut bacteria for months or years, potentially raising obesity risk, especially if taken early in life.
