Raising awareness of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), we present this new podcast series in which Professor Philippe Montravers and Dr Camilla Rodrigues welcome international experts to discuss the challanges and share expertise in managing multi-drug resistant infections in critically ill patients.
Expert guest Professor Peter Hawkey joins hosts Professor Montravers and Dr Rodrigues to explore the development and spread of AMR, how it should be managed and why stewardship and rapid diagnostics are important.
Guest speaker Dr Alex Soriano meets our hosts to look at the incidence of complicated intra-abdominal infections caused by CRE and the associated challenges in treating high-risk patients.
Professor Antoni Torres joins our hosts to discuss the impact of COVID-19 on the number of multi-drug resistant ventilator-associated pneumonia cases especially Pseudomonas aeruginosa while assessing the treatment pathway and viable treatment options in VAP.
Great Ormond Street Hospital's Dr Louis Grandjean, Dr James Hatcher and Orlagh McGarrity discuss treatment in high-risk paediatric complicated intra-abdominal infection cases, challenges of MDR Pseudomonas in this group and investigate available options to paediatric patients
David Livermore talks to our hosts about CRE, its unique challenges in the treatment pathway for high-risk patients with HAP, using β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitors for CRE infections and available treatment options for carbapenemases OXA-48 and KPC.
The speakers weigh up treatment options for acute pyelonephritis with secondary bacteraemia due to CRE. They discuss polymyxin use in the critically ill and examine β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitors as viable alternatives. With expert guest Professor Souha Kanj.
