Dual surveillance of viral and bacterial infections is crucial for managing severe respiratory diseases.
Surveillance of viral genotypes and bacterial coinfections is crucial for managing severe respiratory infections and guiding antimicrobial stewardship. Of 150 patients, 90% were SARS-CoV-2 positive, with 39.2% having bacterial infections. Klebsiella pneumoniae and Acinetobacter baumannii showed high resistance rates. Routine susceptibility testing is essential due to antimicrobial resistance, particularly in gram-negative bacteria, to improve patient outcomes. Dual surveillance of viruses and bacteria is vital to manage infections and combat antimicrobial resistance.
