Abstract Background: Bacterial infections are the most frequent complications in patients with malignancy, and the epidemiology of nosocomial infections among cancer patients has changed over time. This study aimed to evaluate characteristics, antibiotic-resistant patterns, and prognosis of nosocomial infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria in cancer patients. Methods: This retrospective observational study analyzed cancer patients with MDR bacteria caused nosocomial infections from August 2013 to May 2019. The extracted clinical data were recorded in a standardized form and compared based on the patient’s survival status after infection during hospitalization. Data were analyzed by using independent samples t-test, Chi-square test, and binary logistic regression. P -values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: Overall, 257 cancer patients developed nosocomial infections caused by MDR bacteria. Extended-spectrum β-lactamase producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-PE) was the most frequently isolated multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (MDRGNB), followed by Acinetobacter baumannii , and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia . Smoking history, cancer patients who received intrapleural/abdominal infusion within 30 days, presence of indwelling urinary catheter, and haemoglobin were independent factors for in-hospital mortality in the study population. The isolated MDR bacteria were mainly sensitive to amikacin, meropenem, imipenem, tigecycline, and piperacillin/tazobactam. Conclusions: This study confirms that MDR bacteria caused nosocomial infections were widely prevalent in cancer patients. ESBL-PE was the most commonly MDR bacteria, and the isolated MDR strains were mainly sensitive to amikacin, meropenem, imipenem, tigecycline, and piperacillin/tazobactam. Former smokers, cancer patients who received intrapleural/abdominal infusion within 30 days, presence of indwelling urinary catheter, and anemia were associated with increased in-hospital mortality. Our findings suggest that clinicians should think highly of nosocomial infections caused by MDR in cancer patients and advise policymakers to develop a guideline.
