Article Synopsis
- Ventilator-associated pneumonia is a serious infection commonly seen in intensive care units, often caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), among other pathogens.
- A study at Jordan University of Science and Technology Hospital analyzed data from 2012 to 2018, revealing that out of 547 bacterial isolates, 6.4% were Gram-positive, with 59% being MRSA, while a majority (92.6%) of isolates were Gram-negative.
- The findings indicated that Gram-negative bacteria were more prevalent and multidrug-resistant, and that Staphylococcus aureus was not the leading cause of infection in these ventilated patients.
