“…However, in many other countries, such as Morocco, where this study was carried out, too many factors combine to lead to poor controls on the progression of AMR (e.g., poor sanitary conditions, poverty, lack of housing) ( 22 ). Moreover, a study conducted in Morocco showed that MDRB infection is a significant health problem and is responsible for higher morbidity and mortality, longer duration of mechanical ventilation, and prolonged ICU stay ( 17 ). In such countries, we might see even more propagation of resistant bacteria if economies and governance deteriorate further ( 35 ).…”

“…More than 2.8 million MDRB infections occur annually in the USA, causing at least 35000 deaths and $20 billion in healthcare expenditures ( 16 ). A Moroccan study showed that MDRB infection is a significant health problem and is responsible for higher morbidity and mortality, longer duration of mechanical ventilation, and more extended intensive care unit (ICU) stay ( 17 ). In acute care environments, the long-term propagation of AMR due to increased patient exposure to inappropriately used antimicrobials remains a possible consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and an issue of concern.…”

“…Such as previous hospitalization, previous antibiotic treatment, length of hospital stays, and co-morbidities like surgery, liver cirrhosis, diabetics, and renal diseases [78][79][80]. In healthcare facilities, intestinal carriage of ESBL-PE is one of the main reservoirs of multidrug-resistant bacteria which have been associated with high risk for developing infections [81,82]. In our meta-analysis, six studies were eligible to assess the association of…”
