Summary

This study examined whether being in the ICU with COVID-19 made patients more likely to pick up dangerous, drug-resistant bacteria. Researchers tracked 368 critically ill adults to compare infection rates before and during the pandemic. The goal was to understand if COVID-19 changed the spread of these superbugs in ICUs, which can help hospitals improve safety measures.
