Abstract

This review indicated a high prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in bacterial pathogens isolated from cancer patients worldwide. The pronounced resistance prevalence observed, especially among ESKAPE pathogens, underscores the urgent need to improve infection prevention and antimicrobial stewardship in cancer care globally.
