Article Synopsis
- Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are significantly associated with multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains primarily found in intensive care units (ICUs) in Jordan.
- Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-positive isolates show high resistance to essential antibiotics, including carbapenems, mainly due to β-lactamase-mediated mechanisms.
- Out of 120 clinical isolates studied, 95% were MDR, with significant resistance to antibiotics like piperacillin and cephalosporins, highlighting a concerning trend in antibiotic resistance in these hospital settings.
