MDROs affect developed and developing countries and even intensive care and non-intensive care units. In this context, we conducted a study which aims to identify the factors leading to the acquisition of MDROs in a non-intensive care unit. Our study was a retrospective and analytical study. The frequency of diabetes was 64%. The factors leading to the acquisition of MDROs were: invasive medical care (P < 0.001); the presence of MDROs of a urinary catheter and nosocomial infections increased the risk of MDROs infection by six and nine times, respectively (OR 6.2 [95% CI: 2.1 - 17.9] and P < 0.001; OR 9.1 [95% CI: 3.2 - 25.2] and P < 0.001). MDROs are still common in patients with diabetes; infection prevention and control measures and antimicrobial stewardship programmes need to be implemented to better address the problem.
