Association of blood isolate's multi antibiotic resistance-index on laboratory-confirmed bloodstream infection: A cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A not optimal way of the insertion of the intravenous catheter can be one of the factors that cause bloodstream infection (BSI) that should be confirmed with blood culture, and if positive it is called Laboratory-Confirmed Bloodstream Infection (LCBI). One of the surveillance methods of nosocomial infection that is commonly used is the Multi Antibiotic Resistance (MAR)-Index. The aimed of study was association of MAR-index from blood isolates on LCBI category.

Method

This study used a cross-sectional study with a consecutive sampling method. Data collection for this study includes identification of micromaterial profile, antimicrobial test, MAR-Index, and LCBI category. The analysis used is the Mann Whitney test with p < 0.05.
