Frequency of antimicrobial-resistant bloodstream infections in 111 hospitals in Thailand, 2022.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To evaluate the frequency of antimicrobial-resistant bloodstream infections (AMR BSI) in Thailand.

Methods

We analyzed data from 2022, generated by 111 public hospitals in health regions 1 to 12, using the AutoMated tool for Antimicrobial resistance Surveillance System (AMASS), and submitted to the Ministry of Public Health, Thailand. Multilevel Poisson regression models were used.

Results

The most common cause of community-origin AMR BSI was third-generation cephalosporin-resistant Escherichia coli (3GCREC, 65.6%; 5101/7773 patients) and of hospital-origin AMR BSI was carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB, 51.2%, 4968/9747 patients). The percentage of patients tested for BSI was negatively associated with the frequency of community-origin 3GCR
