Bloodstream Infections Due to Multidrug-Resistant Gram-Negative Organisms in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients: A Multicenter Case-Control Study in a High-Prevalence Area

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Over the last decade, an alarming increase in multidrug-resistant gram-negative (MDR-GN) pathogens has been recorded at hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) centers around the world. Infections caused by MDR-GN bacteria not only lead to treatment failure and longer hospital stays but also result in high morbidity and mortality rates. OBJECTIVE: To examine the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes...
