Antimicrobial-resistant central line-associated bloodstream infections in adult intensive care units: findings from an Australian surveillance network, 2011–2022
We demonstrate a decreasing incidence of CLABSI in Victorian adult ICU and an increasing burden of infections due to CNS. No significant time trend increases in antimicrobial-resistant organisms, including MRSA, vancomycin-resistant <i>E. faecium</i>, and ceftriaxone-resistant <i>E. coli</i> were observed. These findings are relevant for identifying priorities for CLABSI prevention in Victorian adult ICU.
