Incidence and resistance rates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bloodstream infections in Switzerland: a nationwide surveillance study (2010-2022).

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Bloodstream infections (BSIs) cause significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important microorganism in BSIs. The aim of this study was to analyze recent trends in the incidence and resistance rates of P. aeruginosa BSIs in Switzerland and its different linguistic regions.

Methods

This retrospective, nationwide observational study analyzed the incidence (using Poisson regression models) and antimicrobial resistance (using logistic regression models) of P. aeruginosa BSIs in Switzerland from 2010 to 2022.

Results

The annual incidence of P. aeruginosa BSIs in Switzerland increased from 5.5 BSIs per 100,000 inhabitants in 2010 to 7.6 BSIs per 100,000 inhabitants in 2022 (p < 0.001). The incidence was higher in the French-speakin
