Overview

Retrospective study evaluated antibiotic susceptibility in patients with nosocomial infections, indicating patterns of resistance.

  • The most common infections were UTIs, making up 58%, with Escherichia coli being the predominant pathogen at 48.6%.
  • Significant antibiotic resistance was observed among bacterial isolates, highlighting the need for targeted treatment strategies.
  • The findings underscore the importance of proper bacterial culturing to guide effective antibiotic therapy and combat resistance.
