Description
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.
