Gram Negative Bacteremia, Risk Factors for Failure of Therapy

Completed

Conditions studied: Gram-Negative Bacterial Infections

In brief

The aims of this study are to: * Determine the risk factors for multidrug resistance in bloodstream isolates of Gram negative bacilli * Determine the mechanisms of multidrug resistance in bloodstream isolates of Gram negative bacilli * Determine the risk factors for failure of prompt clearance of the blood of Gram negative bacteria * Determine the survival of patients with Gram negative bacteremia * Determine if failure of prompt clearance of the blood of Gram negative bacteria is a predictor of mortality following this infection
