Article Synopsis
- - This study estimated the impact of bloodstream infections (BSIs) caused by gram-negative bacteria (GNB) in a Brazilian hospital over four years (2015-2019) using disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) as a measure of disease burden.
- - Researchers analyzed medical records of 498 patients, revealing that carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacteria (CR-GNB) contributed significantly to the high burden, particularly peaking in 2017 with alarming rates of DALYs and a high mortality rate.
- - The findings highlight a critical public health issue in Brazil, stressing the need for urgent interventions to combat infections from antibiotic-resistant bacteria as they could lead to substantial future mortality during hospitalizations.
