Abstract
Infections caused by multidrug resistant organisms
(MDROs) are severely challenging the healthcare
systems worldwide. Resistance to antibacterial drugs
is growing in both Gram positive and Gram negative
bacteria and is increasingly related to healthcare associated
infections (HAIs). Undoubtedly, multiresistant
Gram-negatives, especially carbapenem-resistant
Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) and Acinetobacterbaumannii,
represent the cutting edge of crisis today
