  1. Comparison of inadequate antibiotic therapy, hospital length of stay, SAPS II and hospital mortality between the group of patients infected with MDR pathogens and those not infected, along with comparison of the group infected by MDR-GN with those not infected, and the group infected by ESKAPE pathogens and those not infected.
  2. ATB – antibiotherapy, CAI – community-acquired infection, LOS – length of stay, IQR – inter-quartil range, MDR – multi-drug resistant, MDR GN – multi-drug resistant gram negatives, ESKAPE - Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium, MRSA, ESBL producing E. coli and Klebsiella species, Klebsiella pneumonia Carbapenamase-hydrolyzing and MDR Acinectobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterobacter species.
