Abstract:
In a previous study, we demonstrated prolonged length of hospital stay in
cases of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-positive K. pneumoniae
bacteremia compared to bacteremia cases due to E. coli (ESBL-positive and
–negative) and ESBL-negative K. pneumoniae. The overall mortality was
significantly higher in bacteremia cases resulting from ESBL-positive
pathogens but also in K. pneumoniae cases disregarding ESBL-production. In
order to examine whether pathogen species rather than multidrug resistance
might affect mortality risk, we reanalyzed our dataset that includes 1.851
cases of bacteremia.
