Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of anaerobic bacteria causing bacteremia: A 13-year (2010-2022) retrospective study in a tertiary hospital
Anaerobe. 2023 Nov 18:102803. doi: 10.1016/j.anaerobe.2023.102803. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTInfections from anaerobic microorganisms result from breached mucosal barriers, posing a significant mortality risk. A retrospective study at Hospital Universitario La Paz (Madrid) from 2010 to 2022 analyzed 491 (6.17 %) anaerobic bacteremia cases out of 7956 significant bacteremia cases among 171,833 blood culture requests. Bacteroides fragilis was the most frequently isolated species (28.3 %), followed by Clostridium perfringens (13.6 %). B. fragilis showed good susceptibility to amoxicillin/clavulanate (86 %), piperacillin/t...
