        Antimicrobial Stewardship

        Principles and Practice

        by Kerry LaPlante, Cheston Cunha, Haley Morrill, Louis Rice, Eletherios Mylonakis

        In an age where antimicrobial resistance amongst pathogens grows more prevalent, particularly in the hospital setting, antimicrobial stewardship is an evidence-based, proven measure in the battle against resistance and infection. This single comprehensive, definitive reference work is written by an international team of acknowledged experts in the field. The authors explore the effective use of coordinated antimicrobial interventions to change prescribing practice and help slow the emergence of antimicrobial resistance, ensuring that antimicrobials remain an effective treatment for infection. Amongst the first of its kind, this book provides infectious disease physicians, administrators, laboratory, pharmacy, nursing and medical staff with practical guidance in setting up antimicrobial stewardship programs in their institutions with the aim of selecting the optimal antimicrobial drug regimen, dose, duration of therapy, and route of administration. ; Antimicrobial research has hit a wall: treatment discoveries are rarer and resistant pathogen strains more prevalent. Rather than infection control itself, antimicrobial stewardship is an essential measure in ensuring management of hospital-acquired infections. Throughout this book, international experts discuss all angles of stewardship. ; Part I: Overview of Antibiotic StewardshipCh.1: Principles of Antimicrobial StewardshipCh 2: Clinical Perspective of Antimicrobial StewardshipCh 3: History of Antimicrobial StewardshipCh 4: The Importance of Education in Antimicrobial StewardshipPart II: Antibiotic Resistance Principles in Antibiotic Stewardship Ch 5: Intrinsic and Acquired Mechanisms of ResistanceCh 6: Antimicrobial Resistance: Selection vs. InductionCh 7: Colonization and its importance for emergence of clinical resistanceCh 8: Antibiotic Resistance: associations and implications for antibiotic usage strategies to control multi-resistant bacteriaPart III: Microbiology Laboratory Role in Antibiotic StewardshipCh 9: The role of active surveillance in the prevention of healthcare-acquired infections and antibiotic stewardshipCh 10: Role of Antibiogram in Antibiotic StewardshipCh 11: Selective Reporting and Antimicrobial StewardshipCh 12: Role of New Diagnostics to Enhance Antibiotic Stewardship EffortsPart IV: Infection Control Aspects of Antibiotic StewardshipCh 13: Epidemiology of S aureus and enterococci in children and an overview of antimicrobial resistanceCh 14: Epidemiology of multi-drug resistant gram-negative organismsCh 15: Pathogenesis and Epidemiology of Clostridium difficile Infection: Implications for Antibiotic StewardshipCh 16: Role of the Hospital Epidemiologist in Supporting Antimicrobial StewardshipPart V: Pharmacokinetic (PK) & Pharmacodynamic (PD) Aspects of Antibiotic Dosing in Antibiotic StewardshipCh 17: Principles of Pharmacokinetic / Pharmacodynamic Optimization for Antibiotic DosingCh 18: Optimal use of Gram-negative antibiotics in the real world: providing effective therapy while minimizing resistanceCh19: Optimal Use of FluoroquinolonesCh 20: Optimal Use of Beta-lactam AntibioticsCh 21: Current Approach to Optimal Use and Dosing of Vancomycin in Adult PatientsCh 22: Principles of IV to PO SwitchPart VI: Pharmacy Department Role in Antibiotic StewardshipCh 23: Role of Pharmacists in Antimicrobial StewardshipCh 24: Formulary Management and Economic Considerations; Bridging the Gap between Quality Care and CostCh 25: Approaches in benchmarkingCh 26: Development and execution of stewardship interventionsCh 27: Technologic support for antimicrobial stewardshipPart VII: Measuring Outcomes in Antibiotic Stewardship ProgramsCh 28: Role of Guidelines and Statistical Milestones for Antimicrobial StewardshipCh 29: Economic considerations of Antimicrobial Stewardship ProgramsCh 30: Pharmacoeconomic Implications of Antimicrobial Adverse EventsCh 31: Antimicrobial stewardship programs in areas of increased pathogen resistancePart VIII: Antimicrobial Stewardship and Various Practice SitesCh 32: Role of Antimicrobial Stewardship in PediatricsCh 33: Antimicrobial Stewardship in the Intensive Care UnitCh 34: Role of Antimicrobial Stewardship in a Community HospitalCh 35: Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy (OPAT)Ch 36: The Importance of Interdisciplinary Collaboration in Antimicrobial Stewardship: Immersion of Future Healthcare ProfessionalsCh 37: Antimicrobial Stewardship and the Importance of Working with the Government and Pharmaceutical IndustryCh 38: Hospitalist Perspective on the Role of Antimicrobial Stewardship

        Livestock Immunity to Ticks

        Livestock Immunity to Ticks

        by Johann Schröder

        As arthropod ectoparasites, ticks threaten the wellbeing of the animals whose habitat they share. They cause skin damage from their bite wounds, secrete toxins, transmit pathogens, and can also induce allergic reactions and infected wounds. For more than a century, domestic animals have undergone chemical tick treatment as part of their husbandry routine. However, this reliance on chemicals is non-sustainable, and ignores the existence of other possible avenues of tick management. Covering recent developments in the field, this book considers avenues such as: - Managing infestations through both natural tick control and human intervention - Innate tick resistance - Naturally acquired adaptive immunity - Technological developments and successes such as vaccination schemes The book also takes into consideration the barriers any one of these solutions may face on the road to commercialization. Livestock Immunity to Ticks provides a comprehensive and up-to-date resource for researchers and students of immunology, parasitology and entomology.

        The governance of participation by multinational mining corporations

        by Lian Sinclair

        Why do multinational mining corporations use participation to undermine resistance? Do the struggles of local communities, activists and NGOs matter on a global scale? Why are there so many different global standards in mining? This book develops a new critical political economy approach to studying extractive accumulation, drawing on three detailed Indonesian cases to explain how participatory mechanisms continuously reshape and are reshaped by community-corporate conflict. Findings highlight feedback between local social relations, conflict, transnational activism, crises of legitimacy and global governance. The author argues that corporate social responsibility, community development, 'gender-mainstreaming' and environmental monitoring are neither simple outcomes of corporate ethics nor mere greenwashing strategies. Rather, participation is a mechanism to undermine resistance and create social relations amenable to extractive accumulation.

        Propaganda and Modernist exhibitions in Britain, 1933–53

        by Harriet Atkinson

        This is the first book-length analysis of exhibitions used for propaganda and political interventions in Britain during the two decades from 1933. It analyses how exhibitions were mounted in public places - from station concourses to workers' canteens, empty shops and bombsites - becoming a key tool for public communication. Richly illustrated, the book extends our existing knowledge of the work of a range of prominent artists, architects and designers active in Britain, including Edith Tudor-Hart, Edward McKnight-Kauffer, Paul Nash, F. H. K. Henrion, Misha Black, John Heartfield, Oskar Kokoschka and Erno Goldfinger.

        Water struggles as resistance to neoliberal capitalism

        A time of reproductive unrest

        by Madelaine Moore

        This book provides an important intervention into social reproduction theory and the politics of water. Presenting an incorporated comparison, it analyses the conjuncture following the 2007 financial crisis through the lens of water expropriation and resistance. This brings into view the way that transnational capital has made use of and been facilitated by the strategic selectivities of both the Irish and the Australian state, as well as the particular class formations that emerged in resistance to such water grabs. What is revealed is a crisis-ridden system that is marked by increasing reproductive unrest - class understood through the lens of social reproduction theory. As an important analysis of two significant water struggles, the book makes a compelling argument for integrating the study of social movements within critical political economy.

        Crimean Tatars from exile to return (1941-1991 years)

        by Bekirova Hulnara

        The book is devoted to the most tragic period of the history of the Crimean Tatar people - the deportation of 1944. It describes the lives of the expelled people in foreign lands as well as tells us a story of long and self-sacrificing struggle of the Crimean Tatars for the right to return to their homeland. It is a detailed research of the history of the Crimean Tatar national movement and contains a lot of quotes from the Crimean Tatars’ self-publishing press as well as citations from the traditionally friendly to the Crimean Tatars Moscow editions of that times. An author also reinforced her research by analysis of many documents that were found in the Crimean, Kyiv and Moscow archives as well as by the interview with the most famous and respected member of the movement, leader of Crimean Tatar people Mustafa Djemilev, who was a prisoner of conscience many times during Soviet era. Mustafa Djemilev also wrote an introduction to the book. According to the author, resistance of Crimean Tatars to the criminal policy of the Moscow authorities and the refusal of Russian authorities to fulfil the just demands of the Crimean Tatar people are two different fronts of the national struggle of Crimean Tatar people. Despite the victory of the Crimean Tatars and their return to their homeland a quarter century ago, the struggle at the both fronts continues.

        Antimicrobial Drug Discovery

        Emerging Strategies

        by Edited by George Tegos, Eleftherios Mylonakis.

        Drug resistance is increasing among a variety of human pathogenic microorganisms such as Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumaniii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterobacter spp. (currently dubbed the 'ESKAPE' pathogens), and has emerged as one of the most important clinical challenges of this century. Increased general awareness and fear of these pathogens means there is a growing demand for research to tackle the threat of multidrug resistance. Documenting the latest research in the field, this book discusses current and promising activities to discover new antimicrobials in five key areas: molecular genetics and systems microbiology; synthetic, computational chemistry and chemoinformatics; High Throughput Screening (HTS); non-vertebrate model hosts; and light- and nano-based technologies.

        Popular protest in late-medieval Europe

        Italy, France and Flanders

        by Samuel Kline Cohn

        The documents in this stimulating volume span from 1245 to 1424 but focus on the 'contagion of rebellion' from 1355 to 1382 that followed in the wake of the plague. They comprise a diversity of sources and cover a variety of forms of popular protest in different social, political and economic settings. Their authors range across a wide political and intellectual horizon and include revolutionaries, the artistocracy, merchants and representatives from the church. They tell gripping and often gruesome stories of personal and collective violence, anguish, anger, terror, bravery, and foolishness. Of over 200 documents presented here, most have been translated into English for the first time, providing students and scholars with a new opportunity to compare social movements across Europe over two centuries, allowing a re-evaluation of pre-industrial revolts, the Black Death and its consequences for political culture and action. This book will be essential reading for those seeking to better understand popular attitudes and protest in medieval Europe.

        Host Plant Resistance to Insects

        by Niranjan Panda, Gurdev S Khush

        The overuse and misuse of insecticides some four decades ago created major environmental problems and was followed by the development of an ‘integrated pest management’ approach to crop pests. This approach utilizes a combination of host plant resistance and cultural, biological and chemical control methods. Crop improvement programs emphasize the breeding of crop varieties with multiple resistance to pests, and resistant varieties developed in recent years represent some of the greatest achievements of modern agriculture. This book presents a broad overview of host plant resistance to insect pests. It shows how plants can defend themselves naturally and how insects have adapted to overcome these mechanisms through coevolution. It also describes screening and breeding for insect resistance.
