Antimicrobial resistance of pathogens causing nosocomial bloodstream infection in Hubei Province, China, from 2014 to 2016: a multicenter retrospective study

Abstract

The emergence of methicillin-resistant S. aureus and the expansion of ESBL and fluoroquinolone resistance among Gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae increased AMR severity. Carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae isolates responsible for nosocomial BSI increased year over year and effective infection control measures should be taken to prevent them from spreading.
