Zusammenfassung
Objectives: Determining whether variations in time of use of quinolones: Levofloxacin (LVF), and betalactamics (BTL): Penicillin (P), Amoxicillin-Clavulanate (AMC), Imipenem (IMP) and Ceftriaxone (CFT); have been parallel to variations in the sensitivity of the main respiratory pathogens. Material and methods: We studied a total of 470 strains during the period 2006 – 2013 from patients treated in our Health Area, diagnosed with respiratory infection being mostly sputum, bronchial aspirates, and biological fluids (pleural and bronchoalveolar lavage). The gender distribution was 62% male and 38% female. The bacte…
