Weighted incidence syndromic combination antibiograms (WISCAs) for specific empirical regimens when used for paediatric sepsis
| Infection | Antimicrobial regimen | % of key isolates covered (95% CI) |
|---|---|---|
| Sepsis/bloodstream infection (based on blood culture isolates) | Amoxicillin plus gentamicin | 76% (69% to 82%) |
| Piperacillin/tazobactam | 73% (66% to 79%) | |
| Ceftriaxone | 65% (58% to 72%) | |
| Ceftriaxone or cefotaxime plus amoxicillin | 66% (59% to 73%) | |
| Meropenem | 74% (68% to 81%) |
The cover estimates are based on data in table 2 and are presented with 95% CIs.
