IL6 and COVID-19: Most bacterial coinfections were caused by multidrug resistant (MDR) strains, this is concordant with Polly et al. [12] who reported that 29.7% of COVID-19 associated infections were implicated by bacterial MDR, this may be attributed to multiple factors, e.g., mechanical ventilation, immune dysregulation, administration of prophylactic antimicrobials as well as immunomodulatory therapies, such as corticosteroids and IL-6 inhibitors.
