Abstract
We analyzed Israeli national data on antimicrobial susceptibility from bloodstream isolates collected between 2014 and 2017 and compared resistance proportions with those of Europe. The incidence of bloodstream infection (BSI) caused by most antibiotic-resistant organisms remained unchanged or decreased. An exception was increased incidence of BSI caused by third-generation cephalosporin-resistant Escherichia coli. Overall, resistance proportions were similar to those observed in southern Europe, with the exception of a lower proportion of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in Israel.
