JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association: October,
2023Cefepime and
piperacillin-tazobactam are commonly administered to hospitalized adults for

From The Journal of Infectious Diseases and
The British Medical Journal:
Sepsis mortality has improved
following advancements in early recognition and standardized management, including
emphasis on early administration of appropriate antimicrobials. However,
guidance regarding antimicrobial duration in sepsis is surprisingly limited....
Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery:
Odontogenic infections are a common
problem in dentistry, and their treatment often requires the use of antibiotics
besides the removal of the source of infection, which frequently makes it more
difficult for clinicians to make a decision regarding the choice of antibiotic.
The pathogenesis...
JAMA Surgery:
Surgical
site infections (SSIs) are infections of the incision or organ or space that
occur after surgery. Surgical patients initially seen with more
complex comorbidities and the emergence of antimicrobial-resistant pathogens
increase the cost and challenge of treating SSIs. The prevention of SSI is
increasingly important...
International Journal of Dentistry:
Odontogenic infections are one of
the most prevalent diseases worldwide and the principal reason for seeking
dental care. Dental prescriptions account for nearly 7% to 11% of all common
antibiotic prescriptions.
The commonest emergency odontogenic
infections are periapical abscess (25%), pericoron...
Cesareans
delivery is the most common risk factor for postpartum maternal infections,
which occurs at a rate of 18%–38%. Factors that have been associated with an
increased risk of infection among women who have a cesarean delivery include
emergency cesarean section, labor and its duration, ruptured membranes and the
duration of rupture, t...
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP)
is a significant cause of respiratory morbidity and mortality in children,
especially in developing countries. Worldwide, CAP is the leading cause of
death in children younger than five years.
