The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on pediatric bloodstream infections and alteration in antimicrobial resistance phenotypes in Gram-positive bacteria, 2020–2022
A decline in the trend of BSIs by GPB and an increase in AMR was shown in children during the COVID-19 pandemic. Increasing antibiotic resistance is a concern; however, chloramphenicol, linezolid, and vancomycin remain active against common causes of GPB-BSIs.
