Core Tip	The incidence of gram-negative multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial pathogens is increasing in hospitals and particularly in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting. The clinical consequences of infections caused by MDR pathogens remain controversial. Until the present time a direct association between infections due to gram-negative MDR bacteria and mortality in ICU patients cannot be confirmed by the studies available. Further studies are needed to elucidate the real impact of infections caused by resistant bacteria in ICU patients.
