Research advances in epidemiology and drug resistance of Elizabethkingia

Abstract:

In recent years, the incidence of Elizabethkingia infection has increased significantly. Elizabethkingia can cause pneumonia, meningitis, and bacteremia, etc. The high rate of drug resistance leads to prolonged hospital stay and increased mortality, posing a heavy burden to patients and society. This paper reviews the epidemiology, pathogenesis and drug resistance of Elizabethkingia, with a view to providing a reference for the clinical diagnosis, treatment, prevention and control of Elizabethkingia infection.
