The burden of bacteremic and non-bacteremic Gram-negative infections: a prospective multicenter cohort study in a low-resistance country

Infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria, such as Enterobacterales, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter species, also called Gram-negative infections (GNI), are associated with significant mortality, morbidity and health care costs[1] Such infections occur in community-dwelling subjects and may also complicate treatment in healthcare facilities as post-operative wound infections, urinary tract infections (UTI), hospital-acquired pneumonia and catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI).
