Article Synopsis
- Patients with hematological malignancies are at increased risk for infections, particularly bacteremia, due to specific oral bacteria prevalent in their mouths.
- The study analyzed 48 oral bacterial strains and one bloodstream strain from these patients, identifying that the most common species was present in 72.92% of oral samples, predominantly carbapenem-susceptible.
- A link was established between oral and bloodstream isolates from the same patient, with genetic mutations and plasmid transfer contributing to increased resistance to antibiotics, highlighting the potential for oral bacteria to cause severe infections.
