Multidrug resistant

• Antibiotic resistance [r]: The development of resistance to an antibiotic in an organism originally susceptible to it ^[e]

• Linezolid [r]: The first commerically available synthetic antimicrobial agent of the oxazolidinone class, principally for beta-lactam-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococci, and Enterococci ^[e]
• Quinupristin-dalfopristin [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole combination [r]: A widely used synergistic combination of two antibiotics, with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms, including Pneumocystis jiroveci (formerly Pneumocystis carini) pneumonia in AIDS and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ^[e]
• Vancomycin [r]: A glycopeptide antibiotic used in the prophylaxis and treatment of infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria, especially methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) ^[e]

• Abscess [r]: Accumulation of purulent material in tissues, organs, or circumscribed spaces, usually associated with signs of infection. ^[e]
• Acute kidney injury [r]: Formerly termed acute renal failure (ARF), an abrupt (within 48 hours) reduction in kidney function currently defined as an absolute increase in serum creatinine, a percentage increase in serum creatinine , or a reduction in urine output beyond quantitatively defined levels ^[e]

• Bacteria [r]: A major group of single-celled microorganisms. ^[e]
• Cellulitis [r]: Acute, diffuse, inflammation of loose connective tissue, particularly the deep subcutaneous tissues, and sometimes muscle, usually due to infection and associated with redness, pain, swelling and warmth to the touch ^[e]
• Central venous catheterization [r]: Surgical procedure used for inserting a medical tube into one of the large veins of the body. ^[e]

• Cross infection [r]: Any infection which a patient contracts in a health-care institution. ^[e]

• Health care quality assurance [r]: Activities and programs intended to assure or improve the quality of care in either a defined medical setting or a program. ^[e]
• Medical error [r]: Mistakes made in a medical setting with respect to patient care, sanitation or medical administration. A mistake is less than optimal action, thus failure to set up efficient procedures and routines which minimize mistakes is medical error. ^[e]
