Antibiotic susceptibility pattern, risk factors, and prediction of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in patients with nosocomial pneumonia.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study was aimed at describing antibiotic susceptibility patterns and developing a predictive model by assessing risk factors for carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA).

Methods

A retrospective case-control study was conducted at a teaching hospital in China from May 2019 to July 2021. Patients were divided into the carbapenem-susceptible P. aeruginosa (CSPA) group and the CRPA group. Medical records were reviewed to find an antibiotic susceptibility pattern. Multivariate analysis results were used to identify risk factors and build a predictive model.

Results

A total of 61 among 292 patients with nosocomial pneumonia were infected with CRPA. In the CSPA and CRPA groups, amikacin was identified as the most effective antibiotic,
