Does local matter? Evaluating susceptibility variations between hospital-wide and hematology-oncology unit antibiograms

Antibiograms are important for guiding empiric antibiotics for febrile neutropenia. However, hospital-wide antibiograms may not capture complexities of patients with hematologic malignancies. We created a hematology-oncology unit-specific antibiogram and found higher resistance among Escherichia col...

Summary:Antibiograms are important for guiding empiric antibiotics for febrile neutropenia. However, hospital-wide antibiograms may not capture complexities of patients with hematologic malignancies. We created a hematology-oncology unit-specific antibiogram and found higher resistance among Escherichia coli , Klebsiella pneumonia , and Enterococcus isolates compared to hospital-wide data.
