Bacterial co-infections and secondary infections are common in respiratory viral infections. Since COVID -19 is a respiratory viral infection proportion of the bacterial infections are high which leads to significant mortality. If these organisms were Multidrug resistance (MDR) the situation become worse. In this mini-review, we analyze the bacterial co-infections& secondary infections, and MDR status in COVID-19 individuals Method: This mini-review was reviewed from articles published in PubMed, Scopus, and Google scholar indexed journals between January 2021 to January 2022. The keywords used for the search were "secondary bacterial infections in COVID-19 individuals", "MDR resistant bacteria in COVID-19", and "case reports on MDR infections in COVID-19 patients" Results: the proportion of bacterial co-infections and secondary infections are varied from region to region as low as 2.5% to 95% reported. MDR strains are high. Conclusion: Unnecessary use of antibiotics, prolonged hospital stay, and overburden on the health care system are the main reasons for increasing MDR strains [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
