Microbial Types and Patterns of Multidrug Resistance in Patients with Acute Cholangitis

Abstract

Catassi Viola

Acute cholangitis is a severe infection of the bile ducts often caused by obstruction or bacterial migration from the gut. The emergence of multidrugresistant microbes poses a significant challenge in its management. This article reviews the microbial types prevalent in acute cholangitis and explores patterns of multidrug resistance observed in clinical settings. Understanding these aspects is crucial for guiding empirical antibiotic therapy and developing strategies to combat resistance.
