Bacterial Resistances and Sensibilities in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Romania-A Retrospective Analysis.

ABSTRACT: The increase in bacterial resistance is currently a global burden for the health care system. In order to evaluate the resistance rates of several bacteria from the most encountered cultures in clinical practice, we performed a retrospective analysis of all of the positive cultures from the year 2021 in a tertiary care hospital in Romania. Our analysis captured 3299 positive cultures. The median age of the patients was 62 years (IQR: 41-71 years old) with a slight predominance among females (53.1%). Overall, the most common cultures were urocultures, wound secretion cultures and blood cultures, and the most common identified bacteria were Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella spp. Positive cultures with the highest resistance rates were found in the br
