Antimicrobial susceptibility to polymyxin B and other comparators against Gram-negative bacteria isolated from bloodstream infections in China: Results from CARVIS-NET program.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate the bacterial distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical isolates from Gram-negative bacteria bloodstream infections (GNBSI) in China.

Methods

The clinical bacterial strains isolated from blood culture were collected during April 2019 to December 2021 in 21 member hospitals of China Bloodstream Gram-negative Pathogens Antimicrobial Resistance and Virulence Surveillance Network (CARVIS-NET). Antibiotic susceptibility test was conducted by broth microdilution method recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI, United States). WHONET 2021 and SPSS 22.0 were used to analyze data.

Results

During the study period, 1939 Gram-negative bacteria were collected from 21 hospitals, among which 1,724 (88.9%) were E
