Impact of COVID-19 on epidemiology and mortality risk factors in patients with carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii bloodstream infections in a tertiary care hospital in Thailand
The incidence of total CRAB clinical isolates fluctuated, while the incidence of CRAB BSIs significantly increased. Previous antimicrobial exposure and presence of MDROs within 90 days were risk factors for CRAB. Pitt bacteremia score and recent COVID-19 infection were linked to higher CRAB BSI mortality.
