Abstract

Introduction

Improper antibiotic use triggers outbreaks of hospital-acquired VRE infections. Relevant studies were gathered from Scopus, and PubMed. Over two decades, prevalence of VRE in humans and animals grew from 0.05 % to 99.0 % globally and from 1.0 % to 45.6 % in India. Identifying VRE at the species level helps identify acquired/intrinsic resistance.

Results and conclusion

VRE infections, especially bloodstream infections, inflict significant mortality (60-70%-global; 23%-India) and economic burden ($539 million). Linezolid and daptomycin are frequently used without adequate clinical trial evidence. India lacks studies on prevalence, mortality and cost, which needs political will, public-private partnership, and prioritizing public health.

导言抗生素使用不当会引发医院获得性 VRE 感染的爆发。相关研究来自 Scopus 和 PubMed。二十年来，疱疹病毒在全球人类和动物中的流行率从 0.05% 增长到 99.0%，在印度从 1.0% 增长到 45.6%。结果和结论VRE感染，尤其是血流感染，造成了严重的死亡率（全球60-70%；印度23%）和经济负担（5.39亿美元）。利奈唑胺和达托霉素在没有充分临床试验证据的情况下被频繁使用。印度缺乏对流行率、死亡率和成本的研究，这需要政治意愿、公私合作以及优先考虑公共卫生。
