Clinical and Economic Value of Reducing Antimicrobial Resistance in the Management of Hospital-Acquired Infections with Limited Treatment Options in Greece
Abstract:Introduction
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major public health threat worldwide. Greece has the highest burden of infections due to antibiotic-resistant bacteria among European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA) countries. One of the most serious AMR threats in Greece is hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) with limited treatment options (LTO) caused by resistant gram-negative pathogens.
