Smith A, et al. - A case-case control study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence and predictors of multidrug resistant organisms (MDRO) in cirrhotic patients with bacteremia at a large tertiary center in the United States. Participants in the study were 180 adults with liver cirrhosis hospitalized from 2011 to 2015. The data presented in this work showed that a significant proportion of bacteremia in cirrhotic patients was due to MDROs at a large US tertiary care center. Results of this study suggested that local epidemiology data and identification of risk factors correlated with MDROs might help with optimal empiric antibiotic selection.
