The relationship between catheter-related bloodstream infection and multi-drug resistant bacteria: a five-year retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) is a severe hospital-acquired infection primarily associated with using central venous catheters (CVCs). With the rise of antibiotic resistance and the emergence of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs), there is a growing concern about the relationship between MDROs and CRBSI.

Objective

To explore the association between MDROs and CRBSI.

Methods

A retrospective study was conducted on hospitalized patients with implanted CVCs over 54 months (January 2019 to June 2023).

Results

We included 50,718 patients with indwelling central venous catheters; 122 were diagnosed with central venous CRBSI) The incidence of CRBSI was 0.24% (122/50,718 patients). The rate of MDRO infections among non-CRBSI patients was on
