Question: What is prevalence of bacterial pathogens causing sepsis and their antimicrobial susceptibility over 20 years?
Finding: Coagulase-negative remains most common causative organism. The most common gram-negative organism was Klebsiella pneumonia. The susceptibility of staphylococcus aureus and K. pneumonia showed increased susceptability to oxacillin, cefotaxime and amikacin, gentamicin, respectively.
Meaning: Answers to the question asked is important in choosing antimicrobials and to monitor emergence of multidrug-resistant organisms.
Antibiotic Sensitivity to the Major Causative Organisms of Acute Urinary Tract Infection in Children
Yung Kwun Lee, Hee Chul Lee, Jung Mi Chun, So Young Yoon, Woo Gill Lee, Son Moon Shin
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2005;48(7):760-765.   Published online July 15, 2005
Purpose : We studied the changes in antibiotic sensitivity to the causative organisms of urinary tract infection(UTI), in order to provide useful information on the choice of adequate drugs in the treatment of UTI. Methods : We retrospectively analyzed the major causative organisms and their antibiotic sensitivities in 69 patients diagnosed with UTI in the Department of Pediatrics, Samsung Cheil Hospital...
Epidemiologic Characteristics of T Serotyping in Relation to the Outbreak of Erythromycin Resistant Streptococcus pyogenes
Sung-Ho Cha, Kyu Jam Hwang, Young Hee Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(10):1323-1329.   Published online October 15, 2000
Purpose : The identification of antigenic specificity of Streptococcus pyogenes using T serotyping is important to understand biologic characteristics of microorganisms. We would like to disover the association of the occurrence of predominant T type, with possible outbreak of erythromycin resistant Streptococcus pyogenes in this country, which has been documented since the late 1990s. Methods : Throat swab cultures were taken...
A Study of Antimicrobial Sensitivity to Isolated Bacteria in Ulsan
Sun Ju Kim, Yong Woon Baek, Jin Yeong Jeong, Sung Ryul Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1995;38(10):1329-1339.   Published online October 15, 1995
Purpose : The Patterns of predominant microorganisms and their antibiotic sensitivity have been changed by various factors. Identification and evaluation of major pathogenic organisms and selection of optimal antibiotics were essential in the management of infectious diseases. This susceptibility patterns of antibiotics would be useful to improve empirical antimicrobial therapy. Methods : We studied the antimicrobial sensitibity to isolated bacteria from...
The Significance of Bacteriologic Examination in the Childhood Tuberculosis
Kyung Bae Kwon, Jin Young Park, Bo Young Yoon, Mee Ran Kim, Hoan Jong Lee, Eui Jong Kim, Sang Jae Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1994;37(2):221-230.   Published online February 15, 1994
We reviewed retrospectively the medical records of 229 cases of tuberculosis, who had been diagnosed clinically and admitted to the department of pediatrics, Seoul National University Children's Hospital, during the period of 6 years from October, 1985, to October, 1991. Patients with tuberculosis occupied 1.2%. of the hospitalized patients. Forty-three percent of the patients were under 3 years of age. Principal...
