Summary

The objectives of the study were:

1. To study risk factors for colonization and infection with antibiotic resistant bacteria among patients with severe IAI before and after antibiotic treatment and surgical intervention.
2. To study species changes in the rectal flora among patients with severe IAI before and after antibiotic treatment and surgical intervention.
3. To review guidelines for antibiotic use in participating units.
4. To evaluate surgical antibiotic prophylaxis and treatment in relation to risk for colonization and infection with antibiotic resistant bacteria among patients with severe IAI
5. To use the results from the study in the process of a more appropriate use of antibiotics in participating units and care of patients with severe IAI.
6. To study the dynamics of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing and wild-type Enterobacteriaceae in patients with suspected severe intra abdominal infections before, during and after antibiotic treatment.
