Major blood stream infection-causing bacterial pathogens, antimicrobial resistance patterns and trends: a multisite retrospective study in Asmara, Eritrea (2014–2022)
This study highlights the considerable health burden of AMR/or MDR in BSIs in Eritrea. Additionally, it underscores the urgent need for enhanced laboratory capacity, surveillance, institutionalisation of antibiotic stewardship programs, and robust infection control programs in hospitals across the country. The need for multidisciplinary research was also highlighted.
