The study was retrospective and aimed to dynamically assess the sensitivity to carbapenems (imipenem, meropenem) of Gram-negative bacilli isolated from various clinical specimens collected from patients admitted in the Clinical County Emergency Hospital of Brasov between 1.01.2016-31.12.2020. High levels of resistance were recorded in the case of Providencia spp. (> 80%), Acinetobacter species (> 70% to imipenem; > 80% to meropenem) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (25% -50%). The study highlights the importance of monitoring carbapenem resistance in order to optimize the etiological therapy of infections with these bacteria
