Bacterial Resistances and Sensibilities in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Romania—A Retrospective Analysis

The increase in bacterial resistance is currently a global burden for the health care system. In order to evaluate the resistance rates of several bacteria from the most encountered cultures in clinical practice, we performed a retrospective analysis of all of the positive cultures from the year 2021 in a tertiary care hospital in Romania.
