Amidst the relentless focus on this viral adversary, we must not lose sight of an equally formidable challenge – the lurking threat of bacterial coinfections that can exacerbate morbidity and mortality. Various factors, including ICU admissions, age demographics, microbiota disturbances, and empirical antibiotic use, contribute to the specter of bacterial coinfections. Respiratory tract coinfections, often featuring Streptococcus pneumoniae, precede bacteremia and urinary tract involvement. However, the bacterial landscape in COVID-19 coinfections is a diverse tapestry with regional and institutional variations. Unlike its viral counterparts, COVID-19 exhibits a lower incidence of bacterial coinfection, underscoring the urgency of judicious antibiotic administration to curb the looming threat of antimicrobial resistance. Pandemics have historically witnessed an upsurge in coinfection-related morbidity and mortality. This comprehensive review delves into the multifaceted realm of bacterial, viral, and fungal coinfections amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. We scrutinize their impact on the respiratory and urinary tracts, blood, microbiota, and the ominous emergence of drug-resistant microorganisms. In conclusion, we explore nuanced treatment strategies in the quest for effective pandemic management.","PeriodicalId":261114,"journal":{"name":"The Open Microbiology Journal","volume":"158 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139264929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, antibiotics are one of the pre-eminent essential drugs utilized in treatment. However, due to their high cost and association with resistance, their consumption pattern is important to be considered. In this regard, the first step is to optimize the use of these drugs. Objective: Regarding limited data on assessing the pandemic effect on antibiotics used in Iran, this study aimed to describe the evaluation of antibiotics used in COVID-19 patients during the COVID-19 pandemic in West Iran. Materials and Methods: A total of 350 COVID-19 patients were enrolled in hospitals, and their characteristics, such as age, sex, ward, beginning and conclusion dates, organization intervals, dose, and the type of antibiotic utilized, were assessed. It was found that 180 COVID-19 patients received systemic antibiotics. Antibiotic administration was analyzed based on a Defined Daily Dose (DDD) /100-bed days (expended per 100-bed occupied days). Results: A total of 180 (51.43%) of the COVID-19 patients received antimicrobials, comparable to 219.62 DDD/100-bed days. Moreover, 85% of the antimicrobials were infused, and 15% were oral. Among the wards, the highest rate was in the infectious and intensive care unit (ICU) wards and the lowest in the obstetrics and gynecology wards. Conclusion: The use of antibiotics in patients with COVID-19 was assessed as very high, which should be reviewed in terms of the association between misuse of antibiotics and the emergence of resistance.","PeriodicalId":261114,"journal":{"name":"The Open Microbiology Journal","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135460801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
