Frequency and antimicrobial resistance pattern of non lactose fermenting gram negative rods in neurosurgical patients outlining aminoglycoside resistance genes

We reported a high prevalence of NFGNRs (43.1%) causing HAIs among neurosurgical patients with increased antibiotic resistance for gentamicin. This makes a significant challenge for continued surveillance of antibiotic resistance and the improvement of the antimicrobial stewardship program to lower the frequency of NFGNR infections among neurosurgical patients.
