Sažetak
Although many research endeavours focus on the microbiology, epidemiology, and molecular characterisation of extended-spectrum beta- lactamase-producing and carbapenem-resistant Gram- negative bacteria, few studies aim to assess the impact of these resistance traits on patient outcomes. This is why linking patient-level microbiology data with clinical records and patient outcomes in different settings will be a priority in years to come, as evidenced by trailblazing Global Research on AntiMicrobial resistance (GRAM) Project led by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (University of Washington) and the Big Data Institute (University of Oxford). The highest burden of sepsis-related deaths was already demonstrated in locations least equipped to identify or treat sepsis ; thus, going forward, studies analysing individual-level data will be indispensable.
