Changing Trends of Ralstonia Bacteremia in Patients at a Tertiary Care Center in North India: A 2-Year Retrospective Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Ralstonia species are recently emerging as pathogens of human importance. This study was performed to assess the distribution of Ralstonia species among bacteremia patients and the clinical and demographical factors of these patients. This retrospective observational study was performed in the Microbiology Department of a tertiary care center in North India from April 2022 to April 2024. All in-patients with blood cultures positive for Ralstonia species for the first time during the study period were included in the study. Positive blood cultures were inoculated on blood and MacConkey agar. Identification was done by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry, and antibiotic sensitivity testing was determined by disc diffusion assay. During the study perio
