<p>This 13-year retrospective study investigated risk factors for candidemia secondary to Candida species with increased likelihood of fluconazole resistance. Of 344 candidemia cases, 23 were caused by C glabrata or C krusei (CGCK). Age &gt;2 years, recent fluconazole exposure, and recent surgery were independent risk factors for CGCK.</p>

<p>In pediatric bloodstream infections with fluoroquinolone (FQ)-resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsielia species, we noted an association between FQ resistance and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) production (OR, 12; 95% CI: 2.28-83.8). A case control study revealed no significant risk factors (including prior antibiotic use) for FQ resistance among ESBL E coli and Klebsiella species (ESBL-EK).</p>
