The 30-day fatality rate was 22% in 2015 and increased to 25% in 2018. In BSI, a significant increasing trend was observed for Candida and Enterococcus. The highest rate of 30-day fatality was detected among the patients with pneumonia (32%). In pneumonia, Pseudomonas infections increased in 2018. Colistin resistance increased and significantly associated with 30-day fatality in Pseudomonas infections. Among S. aureus methicillin, resistance increased from 31 to 41%.en10.1007/s10096-020-04140-yinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessHealth CareAssociated InfectionsBlood Stream InfectionsColistin ResistanceArticle40817371742Q2WOS:0006178318000022-s2.0-8510145472133586014Q1
