Susceptibility of various Gram-negative bacteria to antibacterial agents: SMART in China 2019-2020.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Study for Monitoring Antimicrobial Resistance Trends (SMART) is an international surveillance program longitudinally monitoring aerobic and facultative Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) involvement in infections and their antimicrobial resistance profiles. Here the incidence and resistance patterns of Chinese GNB isolates from bloodstream infections (BSI), intraabdominal infections (IAI), respiratory tract infections (RTI) and urinary tract infections (UTI) to commonly used antibacterial agents has been updated. 4,975 GNB isolates collected from 22 hospitals across 7 regions of China from 2019 to 2020 were analyzed. Antimicrobial minimum inhibitory concentrations were assessed using broth microdilution, and susceptibility interpretations followed the breakpoints of Europe
