P. aeruginosa is a bacteria causing bloodstream infections, urinary and respiratory infections, especially in hospitalized patients. As of 2021, resistance to fluoroquinolone and piperacillin-tazobactam antibiotics were the most common forms of P. aeruginosa antibiotic resistance in EU and EEA countries, with 18.7 percent, followed by resistance to carbapenems. This statistic displays the percentage of invasive Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates resistant to antibiotics in EU/EEA countries between 2017 and 2021, by antimicrobial group.
Percentage of invasive Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates resistant to antibiotics in EU/EEA countries between 2017 and 2021, by antimicrobial group
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a bacteria causing bloodstream infections, urinary and respiratory infections commonly in hospitalized patients, especially with compromised immune system.
All EU Member States and two EEA countries (Island and Norway) reported data from invasive isolates. Roughly 76 percent of the participating countries had a high national representativeness, in terms of covered geographic areas, included acute care hospitals, and microorganisms causing infections.
*The aminoglycoside group includes only tobramycin from 2020 onwards.
