| Summary: | Individuals undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation are a peculiar group of patients in whom
the risk of developing infectious complications is very high. Various groups of antimicrobials are used
for prophylaxis and therapy, but the growing resistance among bacterial isolates is about to derail all
attempts to prevent severe infectious complications. The aim of this review is to briefly present the
different types of multidrug-resistant bacteria causing infections in these patients, as well as to introduce
the most common resistance mechanisms and treatment options for this type of infections. |
