Article Synopsis
- This study conducted in Rabigh City, Saudi Arabia aimed to identify antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in common pathogenic bacteria within a healthcare facility over a six-month period.
- Out of 1,933 patient samples, 11.1% showed bacterial growth, with a higher prevalence in patients over 50 years old; the majority were Gram-negative bacteria like E. coli and K. pneumoniae.
- The findings reveal significant resistance among isolated bacteria, particularly with K. pneumoniae showing increased resistance to carbapenem antibiotics, emphasizing the need for ongoing monitoring of AMR in healthcare environments.
