Table 3. Association between resistance profile and clinical outcomes (n = 560).
Resistance categories and clinical outcomes are not mutually exclusive. A single isolate or patient may fall into multiple categories or outcomes; therefore, totals may exceed n = 560
MDR: multidrug-resistant; ESBL: extended-spectrum beta-lactamase; MRSA: methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
| Resistance profile | Treatment failure, n (%) | Hospital stay >5 days, n (%) | Antibiotic escalation, n (%) | Inhospital mortality, n (%) |
| MDR pathogens (n = 188) | 72 (38.30) | 101 (53.72) | 129 (68.62) | 21 (11.17) |
| Non-MDR pathogens (n = 372) | 47 (12.63) | 86 (23.12) | 68 (18.28) | 9 (2.42) |
| ESBL producers (n = 142) | 58 (40.85) | 85 (59.86) | 102 (71.83) | 17 (11.97) |
| Carbapenem-resistant (n = 32) | 19 (59.38) | 26 (81.25) | 28 (87.50) | 9 (28.13) |
| MRSA (oxacillin-resistant) (n = 67) | 24 (35.82) | 36 (53.73) | 42 (62.69) | 6 (8.96) |
