Core Tip
Core Tip: This study provides essential insights into the distribution and drug resistance of key clinical bacteria in a hospital setting. The findings help clinicians to understand the prevalence of these strains and their resistance to antibiotics, which can guide effective treatment decisions. This contributes to the broader efforts to manage and combat antibiotic resistance, a significant global health challenge.
