This dissertation focuses on the analysis of the pathogen spectrum and antimicrobial resistance development in the time-course of hospital stay in the case of acute necrotizing pancreatitis. A shift of the pathogen spectrum towards more resistant and difficult to treat nosocomial pathogens (in particular Enterococcus faecium, Candida non-albicans) occurred with increasing length of hospital stay. At the same time, a significantly higher rate of organ failure and mortality was associated with these difficult-to-treat pathogens. Based on these results, the key role of a rational antimicrobial therapy in acute necrotizing pancreatitis is discussed.
