Abstract
Bacterial resistance constitutes a growing public health problem worldwide, causing 5 million deaths and projecting to rise to 10 million by 2050, unless a global response is established to contain its advance. It is associated with greater morbidity and mortality and economic burden and occurs more frequently in hospital environments, especially in critical units, where Gram-negative bacilli are the most frequently isolated. The objective of this article is to provide evidence-based recommendations on the clinical management of Gram-negative bacterial infections.
