Bacterial etiology and antimicrobial resistance in bloodstream infections at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital: a cross-sectional study
The overall prevalence of bacterial isolates was high with concerning levels of multi-drug resistance. The study identified significant associations between bloodstream infections with age groups and presentation in specific clinical settings, such as the emergency OPD, oncology ward, and surgical ward. Strict regulation of antibiotic stewardship and the implementation of effective infection control programs should be enforced.
