Prevalence of Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase Producer Gram-Negative Rods and Associated Factors Among Patients With Wound Infection at University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia
Conclusions and Recommendations: There was a high prevalence of Gram-negative bacterial isolates in this study. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (28.5%) was the predominant isolate. In addition, high rates of multidrug resistance were observed. The high level of multidrug resistance in this study implies that...

| Summary: | Conclusions and Recommendations: There was a high prevalence of Gram-negative bacterial isolates in this study. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (28.5%) was the predominant isolate. In addition, high rates of multidrug resistance were observed. The high level of multidrug resistance in this study implies that definitive therapy should be based on culture and susceptibility analysis to promote the rational use of antibiotics and to reduce the emergence of bacterial resistance to antimicrobials. |
