ABSTRACT
We investigated the clinical implications of bacteremia among hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Higher rates (52.1%) of multidrug resistant organisms (MDRO) were noted on hospital admission compared to nosocomial acquisition (25%). Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus was the predominant pathogen. Bacteremia with MDRO should be considered in the differential diagnosis among at risk populations especially those admitted from nursing facilities.
