Abstract:Background
Colonization of the oropharynx with gram-negative bacilli (GNB) is considered a negative prognostic factor in immunocompromised individuals. Hemato-oncologic patients represent a high-risk group due to their immunodeficiencies and associated treatments. This study aimed to determine the rates of oral colonization by GNB, associated factors, and clinical outcomes in patients with hematologic malignancies and solid tumors compared with healthy subjects.
