ABSTRACT
Recent years have seen an increase in the incidence of infections by multi-drug resistant bacteria. The main threats are the Gram-negative bacilli that produce β-spread-spectrum lactamases (BLEE), AmpC or carbapenemases, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium. To address this problem, it is essential to establish antimicrobial use optimization programs (AOP) specific to pediatrics, conduct active epidemiological surveillance and develop an appropriate infection control policy. Its therapeutic approach is often complex and multidisciplinary, often requiring the use of less experienced antibiotics. This position paper, prepared by the Spanish Association of Pediatrics and the Spanish Society of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, reviews the epidemiology and treatment of these infections according to the best available evidence.
