Six-Year Time-Series Data on Multidrug-Resistant Bacteremia, Antibiotic Consumption, and Infection Control Interventions in a Hospital.

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteremia is a serious health care-associated infection with significant morbidity and excess hospitalization costs. Our aim is to study the association between incidences of MDR bacteremia, antibiotic consumption, and infection control measures in a hospital from 2013 to 2018. We analyzed the following indices: (1) incidence of bacteremia (carbapenem-resistant , , and , methicillin-resistant , vancomycin-resistant ); (2) use of antibiotics; (3) consumption of disinfectant solutions for hand hygiene; and (4) isolation rates of MDR carrier patients.
