title: E. colibacteremia in comparison toK. pneumoniaebacteremia: influence of pathogen species and ESBL production on 7-day mortality.
abstract: In a previous study, we demonstrated prolonged length of hospital stay in cases of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-positiveK. pneumoniaebacteremia compared to bacteremia cases due toE. coli(ESBL-positive and -negative) and ESBL-negativeK. pneumoniae. The overall mortality was significantly higher in bacteremia cases resulting from ESBL-positive pathogens but also inK. pneumoniaecases disregarding ESBL-production. In order to examine whether pathogen species rather than multidrug resistance might affect mortality risk, we reanalyzed our dataset that includes 1.851 cases of bacteremia.
