| Abstract: | In 2017, in the intensive care unit the bacteria incidence was bigger at the patients with invasive infections, intubated and catheterized: Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli and MRSA. At most isolated bacteria species we have discovered a multi-resistance, remaining too few therapeutical options according to the antiobiogram. Nosocomial infections are continuing to represent a major problem for the patients safety and therefore introducing a programme for judicious prescriptions of antibiotics (antimicrobial stewardship) in a multidisciplinary hospital. |
