Abstract
A two-year observational retrospective study of bacteremias was performed in non-ICU patients, focusing on potential differences between community acquired and hospital acquired bacteremias. A total of 120 out of 6383 hospitalized patients (1.87%) were included. The Enterobacterales predominated (73/138; 52.9%), followed by Acinetobacter baumannii (53/138; 38.4%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (12/138; 8.7%) whereas, 76% (105/138) of the isolated bacteria exhibited resistant profiles. These results highlight the need for continuing surveillance of MDROs even outside the ICUs.
