Overview

Retrospective study assessed antimicrobial resistance in bacterial pathogens in ICUs, highlighting urgent needs for infection control.

Key Points

  • The study found 28.3% culture-positive samples from ICU patients, indicating high infection rates.
  • Klebsiella pneumoniae was predominant among isolates, with an alarming 88.4% exhibiting carbapenem resistance.
  • Carbapenem resistance was also high in Acinetobacter baumannii at 98.4%, stressing the severity of the AMR crisis.
  • Continuous surveillance is essential to inform empirical treatment strategies and enhance antimicrobial stewardship.
