Abstract | We aimed to determine the epidemiology and resistance patterns of Gram-negative bacteria, the risk factors and outcome of bloodstream infection (BSI). In all, 412 episodes in children who were hospitalized with the diagnosis of bacteremia were analyzed. The most common microorganisms were Klebsiella spp. (43.9%), Escherichia coli (13.5 %) and Acinetobacter spp. (10.6 %). Among isolates, 41.2 % were multidrug-resistant, 13.5 % were extensively drug-resistant and 0.4 % were pan-drug-resistant. Carbapenem resistance was revealed in 27.6 % of isolates. Carbapenem and colistin resistance increased over the years. The most common risk factors were the presence of a central-venous catheter and pediatric intensive care unit admission. Clinical response and infection-related mortality were significantly different in cases infected with carbapenem-resistant gram-negative (CRGN) vs carbapenem-susceptible gram-negative bacteria. The increase in multi-resistant Klebsiella spp. seems to be the biggest obstacles in fight against nosocomial infections. The increasing number of CRGN infections over the years affects both the clinical response and mortality rate of BSI. |
