3 Jul 2012
Abstract excerpt
Infections due to multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa are increasing. The aim of our study was to evaluate the influences of appropriate empirical antibiotic therapy and multidrug resistance on mortality in patients with bacteremia due to P. aeruginosa (PAB).
