Abstract

BACKGROUND: Infections caused by carbapenem resistant gram-negative bacilli (CRGNB) are associated with high mortality and pose a great challenge for clinical treatment. We aim to identify patients at high risk for CRGNB as early as possible and alert clinicians to make timely antibiotic treatment adjustments.
