CliMic vs PneumoRecs VaxAdvisor

CliMic is a reference of blood culture microorganisms and its antimicrobial susceptibility, aimed at helping the clinician to implement an appropriate empirical antibiotic therapy by knowing the ecology of multidrug resistant bacteria. • Quickly visualize antimicrobial susceptibility results, grouped by isolate or by antimicrobial. • List isolated microorganisms by its frequency according to the different sources of bacteraemia. • Distinguish results between the nosocomial and the outpatient settings. At this time, the app contains data from bacteraemia episodes treated in Hospital Clinic de Barcelona. ----- Antimicrobial resistance has become a public health problem. The surveillance of antimicrobial resistance in the nosocomial setting is among the measures to be taken to control the emergence and spread of multidrug resistant bacteria.

This is the PneumoRecs VaxAdvisor App created by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in collaboration with the Georgia Tech Research Institute. PneumoRecs VaxAdvisor provides patient-specific pneumococcal vaccination guidance consistent with the pneumococcal vaccination recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. Vaccination providers enter a patient’s age and respond to prompts about the patient’s pneumococcal vaccination history and underlying medical conditions. The app then displays patient-specific pneumococcal vaccination recommendations consistent with the recommended U.S. immunization schedule.
