Research Article: Clinical Characteristics and Prognosis of Bloodstream Infection with Carbapenem-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Patients with Hematologic Malignancies
Introduction:
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is an opportunistic pathogen with combined antibiotic resistance, multifactorial virulence, and dynamic over-adaptive capacity that is particularly difficult to eliminate from patients and is an important cause of nosocomial infections that can be life-threatening in critically ill and immunocompromised patients. The mortality rate of PA bloodstream infection (BSI) has been reported to be between % and %. – Carbapenems are the most effective antibacterial agents against severe P.…
