Overview

Systematic review reveals high prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in pediatric bloodstream infections, indicating urgent need for intervention.

Key Points

  • The pooled prevalence of bacterial bloodstream infections in pediatric patients was 30.66%, highlighting significant health concerns in Ethiopia.
  • Multidrug resistance among bacterial pathogens was alarmingly high at 80.54%, with complete resistance in Klebsiella and Acinetobacter species.
  • This systematic review analyzed data from 23 eligible studies, assessing bacterial infection rates and resistance patterns across pediatric settings.
  • Emergency interventions in surveillance and antimicrobial stewardship are essential to mitigate the rising threat of antimicrobial resistance in Ethiopia.
