Spectrum adequacy of antibiotic regimens for secondary peritonitis: a retrospective analysis in intermediate and intensive care unit patients
2015
Background
Secondary peritonitis requires surgical source control and adequate antimicrobial treatment. Antimicrobial regimens are usually selected according to local susceptibility data of individual pathogens against single agents, but this neglects both the polymicrobial nature of the infection and the use of combination therapy. We analysed the probability of common regimens to cover all relevant pathogens isolated in one patient (“spectrum adequacy rate”, SAR) in a real-life data set.
