Clinical, Microbiological, and Antibiotic Treatment Characteristics of Bacterial Infections in Patients with Liver Cirrhosis in China: A Multicenter Study

The clinical and microbiological characteristics of bacterial infections in patients with cirrhosis in China differ substantially from those reported in other regions. These findings highlight the need for region-specific management and prevention strategies, particularly in light of the changing microbiological landscape, high MDR prevalence, and suboptimal antibiotic practices.
