Abstract

Antibiotic resistance has become one of the greatest healthcare and therapeutic challenges in hospitals, posing a serious threat to the health of both patients and medical staff (1). As bacteria and other organisms that are capable of resisting antibiotics multiply and spread, treating many hospital-acquired infections becomes increasingly complex and difficult. This phenomenon is exacerbated by the inappropriate and excessive use of antibiotics in hospitals, particularly in intensive care units, leading to severe complications, including mortality caused by drug-resistant infections (2). Microbial resistance can result in prolonged hospitalization time, high treatment costs, and ultimately, death among patients who contract resistant infections. Therefore, identifying and controlling this resistance, especially in hospital settings, requires immediate attention and action. The World Health Organization has recently identified three categories of pathogens, namely: critical, high, and medium priority, according to the need for new antibiotics (3).
