Molecular characterisation of multidrug-resistant Bacteroides isolates from Hungarian clinical samples

In the past 12 years, only a few cases of MDR Bacteroides infections have been reported. Within a comprehensive multicentre survey, we demonstrated the relatively high prevalence of MDR strains isolated in one centre with five isolates as well as one isolate from another centre during a relatively short period of time. This study highlights the importance of antimicrobial susceptibility testing and surveillance among B. fragilis group isolates.
