Ann Clin Microbiol Antimicrob
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- Gram-negative bacteremia is a severe infection that is becoming more common and harder to treat due to antibiotic resistance, particularly in Lebanon where data is scarce.* -
- A study of 2400 patients revealed that infections were mainly caused by bacteria like E. coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, with increasing resistance to critical antibiotics like carbapenems.* -
- The findings highlight the urgent need for better monitoring and data collection to improve treatment strategies for gram-negative bacteremia in Lebanon, as certain resistant strains are linked to higher mortality rates.*
