- * There was a notable increase in bacteremia cases during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a 140% rise, while fatality and persistence of bacteremia were also significant concerns.
- * Genomic analyses showed higher prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes (like methicillin and macrolide) in pandemic isolates, indicating the bacteria's adaptation to the unique pressures caused by COVID-19 treatment practices.
Introduction: Intestinal colonization by Multi-Drug Resistant Organisms (MDROs) can pose a threat on the health of critically ill patients. The extent of colonization by these organisms is related to previous antibiotic treatments and their ability to cause infections among adult patients. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between the intestinal Relative Loads (RLs) of selected antibiotic resistance genes, antibiotic consumption and extra-intestinal spread among critically ill pediatric patients.
