Observational analysis shows rising MICs and fungal infections during COVID-19 in pediatric bloodstream infections, suggesting enhanced AMR surveillance is crucial.
While the COVID-19 pandemic did not alter the overall bacterial trends in pediatric BSIs, it was associated with the emergence of fungal infections and rising MICs-even in the absence of increasing resistance rates. These findings reinforce the importance for continuous AMR surveillance in pediatric populations.
