Summary:BACKGROUNDBloodstream infections (BSI) are a global health issue, leading to high mortality and morbidity among hospitalized patients.METHODSA retrospective, observational and descriptive study was conducted by reviewing blood culture records collected from patients with suspected BSI, between January 2017 and December 2019.RESULTSThe most frequent antimicrobial resistant (AMR) pathogens were methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus(MRSA) (40%), methicillin-resistantS. epidermidis (MRSE) (9.5%), and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae (35.3%).CONCLUSIONSOur findings underscore the importance of continued vigilance and advocate for the rational use of antimicrobial agents.
