Patterns of Antibiotics Resistance

Antibiotics resistance has become a global health challenge especially in third world countries. The main causes of antibiotics resistance are the improper use or overuse of antibiotics, the lack of skilled public health workers and poor hygiene standards. Resistance to antibiotics reduces the effectiveness of these treatments and has a negative impact on hospital systems especially in intensive care settings.

Medical intensive care unit (MICU) is commonly known as a "hotbed of infections" in high-risk healthcare environments ICU patients are especially prone to infections because of the various invasive procedures they undergo,including vascular access, mechanical ventilation, and intubation.
