Based on routine clinical microbiological culture results, the distribution and drug resistance of pathogens associated with pancreatic infections were analyzed. Multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) infection and poor prognosis.Results: A total of 1586 pancreatic fluid specimens were analyzed and collected from 843 patients diagnosed with AP. The positive rate of the culture results was 81% (1280/1586), with the predominant pathogens identified as Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus faecium, and Acinetobacter baumannii complex. Of the 843 patients, 756 met the criteria, and the proportion of MDROs in pancreatic infections was 87.57% (662/756). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that septic shock, acute kidney injury, and tracheostomy were associated with a poor prognosis, whereas ICU length of stay, infected pancreatic necrosis, and tracheostomy were associated with multidrug-resistant bacterial infections in patients with severe or critical AP.Conclusion: The proportion of MDRO infections in patients with severe or critical AP was notably high, primarily involving multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii. Septic shock, acute kidney injury, and tracheostomy have been identified as independent risk factors of poor prognosis in patients with severe or critical AP.Keywords: severe acute pancreatitis, pancreatic infection, microbiological profiles, multidrug-resistant organism, risk factor
