| Core Tip |
The study assesses the burden of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) in All India Institute of Medical Sciences Rishikesh from May 2021 to February 2024 except 2022. Klebsiella pneumoniae (30.6%) was the most common MDRO, with urine as the predominant sample type (51.0%). The highest burden was observed in the General Medicine and Surgery Departments, with significant quarterly variations (P < 0.001). Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand contributed the most cases, particularly from Bijnor and Haridwar districts. There was post-corona virus disease surge of MDROs and 1/4th died. Strengthening antimicrobial stewardship and infection control, especially in high-burden departments and regions, is crucial to curb antimicrobial resistance. |
