2475. Incidence of Multidrug-Resistant Extensively Drug-Resistant and Pandrug-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria in Brazilian Intensive Care Units

摘要

BackgroundThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) proposed standard definitions for acquired resistance in bacterias. Resistant bacteria were categorized as multidrug-resistant (MDR), extensively drug-resistant (XDR) and pandrug-resistant (PDR). This study describes the incidence of Gram-negative MDR, XDR and PDR in 12 private and adult intensive care units (ICU’s) from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, the sixth most populated city in Brazil, with approximately 3 million inhabitants.
