摘要: Resistant bacteria are emerging in Latin America as a real threat to the favorable outcome of common infections community and hospital settings. The time change long-accepted prescription practices is coming, every effort should be made provide prescribers pertinent information related changing patterns resistance. Adequate prompt surveillance resistance, identification factors that make possible spread mechanisms recommendations for adequate usage antibiotics have been recently suggested region. 52 This article updates situation mid-1999. In previous issue this journal, results up until 1993 were presented. 7
