Prevalence of antibiotic resistance among blood pathogens isolated from routine laboratory specimens at Livingstone Central Hospital in Zambia

2022-05-26

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introduction: </h4> Bloodstream infections (BSI) are a major public health burden with high mortality, and when coupled with antimicrobial resistance, the healthcare costs increase. This study aimed to establish the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance patterns of pathogens isolated from blood cultures at Livingstone Central Hospital (LCH) from 2019 to 2021. <h4>Methods: </h4> . A single-centre laboratory ba...
