Patterns of Antibiotic Resistance in Community-Acquired Infections: A Study From a Tertiary Care Hospital
This study demonstrates a high burden of MDR organisms in CAIs, with poor clinical outcomes, particularly in carbapenem-resistant and MRSA infections. These findings emphasize the urgent need for strengthened antimicrobial stewardship, continuous surveillance of resistance trends, and locally tailored empirical treatment guidelines in community healthcare settings.
