Empirical fluoroquinolones versus broad-spectrum beta-lactams for Gram-negative bloodstream infections in the absence of antimicrobial resistance risk factors

Empirical fluoroquinolones versus broad-spectrum beta-lactams for Gram-negative bloodstream infections in the absence of antimicrobial resistance risk factors

Objectives: Increasing antimicrobial resistance rates limit empirical antimicrobial treatment options for Gram-negative bloodstream infections (GN-BSI). However, antimicrobial resistance may be predicted based on patient-specific risk factors using precision medicine concepts. This retrospective, 1:...
