Emerging Colistin Resistance: Experience from an Intensive Care Unit of a Tertiary Care Center in India
Factors like prolonged ICU stay, exposure to monobactams in the ICU, and a history of prior exposure to colistin in the previous 90 days are independent predictors of colistin resistance. The most common organism to develop colistin resistance identified was K. pneumoniae, and the most common site of isolation was blood. There was no difference in mortality between colistin-resistant and colistin-sensitive patients.
