AI Article Synopsis
- Antibiograms help doctors choose the right antibiotics for patients with febrile neutropenia, but general hospital data may miss important details for those with blood cancers.
- We developed a specific antibiogram for our hematology-oncology unit to better reflect these complexities.
- Our findings showed that antibiotic resistance was higher in certain bacterial isolates compared to the broader hospital-wide data.
Article Abstract
Antibiograms are important for guiding empiric antibiotics for febrile neutropenia. However, hospital-wide antibiograms may not capture complexities of patients with hematologic malignancies. We created a hematology-oncology unit-specific antibiogram and found higher resistance among , , and isolates compared to hospital-wide data.
