Analysis of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative pathogens (MRGN) in different areas of the healthcare system and their significance in the outpatient sector

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: , four of which could also be classified as 3MRGN. These prevalences were compared with MRGN/ESBL prevalences in PubMed and Google Scholar in different areas of the German healthcare system in the period 2013-2024 at the federal state level. The selective literature search revealed geographical differences and missing prevalence data depending on the healthcare sector (outpatient/inpatient) and federal state. Resistance data is often evaluated according to international standards, i.e. according to the ESBL definition. Outpatient MRGN prevalences are hardly known despite the increasing numbers of outpatients of the healthcare system. Due to the scarcity of outpatient data, our study from a travel medicine clinic provides interesting epidemiological data that should be considered in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
