Emerging antibiotic resistance in bacterial bloodstream infections: a clinical study at the Holy Family Hospital, Nkawkaw, Ghana
The study highlights the significant public health burden posed by bacteraemia and the growing challenge of antibiotic resistance. The prevalence of bacteraemia, particularly caused by Gram-negative organisms such as Klebsiella species and E. coli underscores the need for targeted interventions to improve infection control in healthcare settings.
