Infections with multidrug resistant organisms (MDROs)

To successfully treat infections with MDROs, source control is crucial.  Infected tissue or device needs to be debrided / removed. Appropriate and timely dosing of active antibiotics is also important. Unfortunately, antibiotic options are often limited. Available active antibiotic agents may be toxic. New drugs which are in development for the purpose of treatment of MDROs are either not available or extremely costly. 

Selection of a suitable antibiotic regimen is often made in consult with an experienced team of infectious diseases physicians, specialist pharmacists  in infectious diseases and microbiologist. Recommended treatment regimen is often individualised.
