Abstract
We discuss a meta-analysis that reported on the association between gastric acid suppression and carriage with antibiotic resistant bacteria, with a special focus on the association for carriage with ESBL-producing Gram-negative bacteria in non-hospitalized subjects. Results from a recent population-based study (not included in the meta-analysis) were added to this subgroup of the meta-analysis. The data point to a positive, yet minor, association between gastric acid suppression and carriage with ESBL-producing Gram-negative bacteria in non-hospitalized subjects in the Netherlands.
