Abstract
SummaryThere are few data regarding microbiological findings from the disaster situation in Haiti. A rapid and accurate diagnosis of infection is necessary for the optimal efficacy of antimicrobial therapy, considering the antimicrobial spectrum and the duration of treatment. Furthermore, understanding the microorganisms and their susceptibility profiles is necessary to implement appropriate infection control policies and to contain the emergence and dissemination of Gram-negative multidrug-resistant pathogens.
