  • 5 Surveillance of the Antibiotic Susceptibility of Bacteria Found in the Urinary Tract in the West Midlands Over a Four Year Period
    An investigation into the relationship between antimicrobial prescribing and antimicrobial resistance in urinary tract infections at a population level By Dean Ironmonger A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Institute of Microbiology and Infection College of Medical and Dental Sciences University of Birmingham December 2017 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract Inappropriate use of antibiotics is a key factor in the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). UK national guidance has been ineffective in standardising the management of infections in the community. Many community prescribers are sceptical that their actions have an effect on AMR in their locality. As part of this study, routine surveillance of AMR in a large regional population was established. To help interpret surveillance data, two surveys were undertaken: a survey of laboratory methods, and a survey of GP sampling and prescribing protocols. Using these survey results, surveillance tools were developed to provide hospital and community prescribers with data on antibiotic resistance in bacteria within their locality; and enable laboratories to compare methods for determining antibiotic susceptibility.

  • BY E. GREEN (Eon. Sec.)
    ftoios mt the Jistorg «f £)uluft[ion. BY E. GREEN (Eon. Sec.) pUT a few years ago the history of any parish would have ^ commenced with some extract from Domesday book, now, thanks to one, alas ! lately departed from us, two years earlier can be included, and much new matter gained. Still all is rather complex, and future workers may yet find room for their investigations. In the Gheld Inquest then, taken in 1084, Dul- vertona is found as part of Williton Hundred, and, with Netelcoma and Uinnesforda, was rated at six hides, one virgate and one fertin, the dues on which were in arrear. The Domesday measurement is about a third more. But although Dulverton is here found already in Williton, it for a time, it would seem, gave the name to the Hundred. It here included Potesdona(Pixton), Holma (Hollam), and certain lands owned by thirteen Taini, the value, £-3. 4s. 2d., making uipthe Domesday measurement of 8,337 acres, held by the King in capite. Be- fore the Conquest it was owned by Earl Harold, who received a rent from Brigeford, from the Earl of Moretain, of twenty- “ four sheep ; a custom, says the Inquest, now discontinued.” The rental was eleven pounds ten shillings, paid in white money. Within the manor was a still uncertain holding of one virgate of land, called Widepolla, the same spelling as for Withypool, held by Robert de Odburvilla, formerly owned by one Dodo in the time of King Eadward. D'Auberville, as the name next becomes, and Dodo, were both King’s foresters, but D’Auber- ville, by a suit at law, managed to secure the property, and then to separate it from Dulverton, holding it by what was considered the more honourable tenure, by service, instead of, as before, by a money rent.
