Implication

Descriptive cross-sectional study found 45% multidrug-resistant bacteria in hemodialysis unit, highlighting urgent needs.

Key Points

  • The prevalence of multidrug-resistant bacteria was 45%, indicating a significant health risk for hemodialysis patients.
  • Among isolated bacteria, 59.4% of Staphylococcus aureus strains were methicillin-resistant, complicating treatment options.
  • The study utilized antibiotic susceptibility testing with agar-based antibiograms to assess patient and service surface samples.
  • These findings underscore the critical need for improved infection control measures and antibiotic management in healthcare.
