Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America and Infectious Diseases Society of America Joint Committee on the Prevention of Antimicrobial Resistance: guidelines for the prevention of antimicrobial resistance in hospitals.

Antimicrobial resistance results in increased morbidity, mortality, and costs of health care. Prevention of the emergence of resistance and the dissemination of resistant microorganisms will reduce these adverse effects and their attendant costs. Appropriate antimicrobial stewardship that includes optimal selection, dose, and duration of treatment, as well as control of antibiotic use, will prevent or slow the emergence of resistance among microorganisms. A comprehensively applied infection control program will interdict the dissemination of resistant strains.

Pancreatic pseudocyst infected with Candida albicans.

We present a case of a pancreatic pseudocyst secondarily infected with Candida albicans. The authors discuss the risk factors for pseudocyst infection, especially with Candida, diagnostic procedures, and current management including percutaneous catheter drainage.

Infections in older patients: a systematic clinical approach.

The increased risk of infection among older patients can be divided into three clinical categories: infections increased in incidence, infections showing higher case fatality rates, and infections that are clinically worse, primarily because of late recognition. Among infections that are increased in incidence, the most important by far are tuberculosis and pneumococcal pneumonia. Infections that show higher fatality rates include influenza and--again--pneumococcal pneumonia. Intra-abdominal infections (eg, cholecystitis and appendicitis) are often clinically worse in older patients due to late recognition and delay in surgical intervention.
