Original Title: ESBL 생성 장내세균에 의한 균혈증 및 요로감염에서 카바페넴과 다른 항생제 대안 치료법간 임상효과 비교연구
Authors' recommendations: This study systematically reviewed the recently published evidence to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of carbapenems and other alternative antibiotics in treating bacteremia and urinary tract infection caused by ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae and analyzed the comparative clinical outcomes of those therapies using multi-center data in Korea. Although there was no clear evidence that superiority of carbapenem in empirical therapy, this study results suggest that carbapenem therapy is associated with a reduction of overall mortality when it is used as a definitive treatment in bacteremia caused by ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae, However, considering an increasing carbapenem resistance and non-inferiority of BL/BLIs use over carbapenems according to the study results, BL/BLIs can be used as alternatives for the treatment of patients with ESBL-positive Enterobacteriaceae bacteraemia. In patients with ESBL-positive Enterobacteriaceae urinary tract infection, the role of carbapenem and other antibiotics should be further evaluated for empirical and definitive treatment.
