Abstract:Antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) infections have increased in community settings. Our objectives were to study the epidemiology of community-onset bloodstream infections (BSIs), identify risk factors for AMR-BSI and mortality-related factors, and develop the empirical antimicrobial treatment-decision algorithm. All adult, positive blood cultures at the emergency room and outpatient clinics were evaluated from 08/2021 to 04/2022. AMR was defined as the resistance of organisms to an antimicrobial to which they were… Show more
