Trends in antimicrobial resistance amongst pathogens isolated from blood and cerebrospinal fluid cultures in Pakistan (2011-2015): a retrospective cross-sectional study
Abstract:Background: Only a few studies have presented long-term trends in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) at a nationwide level in Pakistan. This study presents a comprehensive situational analysis of AMR trends among pathogens isolated from blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cultures, between 2011 and 2015, in Pakistan. Methods: A retrospective analysis of AMR data on pathogens isolated from Blood and CSF over a five year period was carried out. Susceptibility data on these pathogens was obtained from Chughtai Labora… Show more
