Species distribution and resistance profile of clinical isolates from an intensive care unit during pre- and post-COVID-19 pandemic periods

The increasing incidence of antibiotic resistance was a major health problem before the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, but in the post-COVID era this problem has worsened. The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze the incidence of multidrug-resistant pathogens in an intens...

description The increasing incidence of antibiotic resistance was a major health problem before the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, but in the post-COVID era this problem has worsened. The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze the incidence of multidrug-resistant pathogens in an intensive care unit before (2019), and at the end of the COVID-19 pandemic (2022).
