The Microbiology of Bloodstream Infection: 20-Year Trends from the SENTRY Antimicrobial Surveillance Program.
In conclusion, S. aureus and E. coli were the predominant causes of BSI worldwide during this 20-year surveillance period. Important resistant phenotypes among Gram-positive pathogens (MRSA, VRE, or DRE) were stable or declining, whereas the prevalence of MDR-GNB increased continuously during the monitored period. MDR-GNB pose the greatest therapeutic challenge among common bacterial BSI pathogens.
