Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence of severely drug-resistant bacteria, specifically carbapenemases (CPs) and extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL), in a hospital setting involving 384 patients with bacterial infections.
- Researchers used standard microbiological procedures, including disk diffusion methods, to test for bacteria growth and antibiotic susceptibility, revealing significant resistance rates among various isolates.
- Findings indicate 31.4% of bacteria were resistant to carbapenems, with a notable prevalence of urinary tract and bloodstream infections, stressing the need for improved infection control and nationwide screening efforts.
