OBJECTIVES To describe the epidemiology, antimicrobial susceptibilities, treatment, and outcomes of intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired Gram-negative bacteremia. METHODS Patients with ICU-acquired Gram-negative bacteremia from 2004 to 2012 were reviewed retrospectively. Independent predictors of mortality were examined using multivariable Cox regression. RESULTS Seventy-eight cases of ICU-ac...
