Core Tip Multidrug-resistant organism colonization is frequent in critically ill cirrhotic patients and strongly predicts subsequent infection. However, colonization alone does not determine mortality, which is primarily driven by organ dysfunction severity. Colonization status remains an important tool for guiding empiric antimicrobial therapy and tailoring stewardship strategies, particularly in regions with distinct epidemiological patterns.
