Abstract
This retrospective study aimed to clarify the interspecies differences in the clinical characteristics and risk factors of bloodstream infection (BSI) due to third-generation cephalosporin-resistant (3GC-R) Escherichia coli (EC) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC). KP BSI had more comorbidities and higher treatment failure rate than EC BSI. Non-alcoholic LC was a risk factor for treatment failure in EC, whereas it was not associated with KP. Risk factors for BSI due to 3GC-R strain were nosocomial infection in EC, and β-lactam/fluoroquinolone treatment ≤ 30 days in KP. These results could help predict outcomes of BSI and improve clinical practice.
