Dynamics of antibiotic resistance of staphylococcus aureus bacteria causing infectious complications in oncology patients receiving chemotherapy

Abstract

Cytostatic chemotherapy used in the treatment of solid tumors causes neutropenia of varying degrees and duration. During standard chemotherapy, the frequency of grade III-IV neutropenia is 30-40%, which increases the risk of developing nosocomial infections in oncology patients. Currently, the problem of bacterial infections caused by gram-positive microorganisms is constantly increasing all over the world, and S. aureus is considered one of the main causes of outpatient and nosocomial bacteremia, pneumonia, skin and soft tissue infections.
