Description
Hong-Wu Yao and co-authors map infections caught in hospitals across China from 2015 to 2019, in work published in 2025. They use national data from 6,867 sampled hospitals. Such infections, made worse by drug resistance, threaten every health system. The study counts about 4,959,230 cases over the five years. Rates stand near one point one per hundred inpatients, with prevalence near two point three per hundred, and both trend down over time.
Among resistant organisms, a carbapenem-resistant strain of Acinetobacter baumannii shows the highest detection rate, at fifty-one point one percent. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus follows, at thirty-one percent. Detection falls for several resistant types, though one resistant Klebsiella type rises. Hospitals in urban areas carry higher infection risk, and rates differ by region. The authors present the map as a base for targeting infection control where it is needed most.
