ABSTRACT
Objectives:
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact on the healthcare system, which has been forced to manage large number of patients, including those with respiratory insufficiency and in need of oxygen therapy. Due to concerns about bacterial co-infection, antibiotic therapy was administered to many patients. The aim of the present study was to compare antimicrobial resistance in intensive care patients in the pre-pandemic and pandemic periods. Material andMethods:
Patients hospitalized at the Department of Anesthesiology, Resuscitation and Intensive Care Medicine of the University Hospital Olomouc in the pre-COVID-19 period (2018-2019) and during the pandemic (2020-2021) were enrolled in the study. Clinical samples from the lower respiratory tract were routinely collected twice a week, with one strain of a given species first isolated from each patient being included in the study.
