Background: Surveillance of antimicrobial resistance is vital to guiding empirical treatment of
infections. Collating and reporting routine data on clinical isolate testing may offer more …

Bloodstream infection (BSI) is defined by positive blood cultures in a patient with systemic
signs of infection and may be either secondary to a documented source or primary—that is …

Background Bloodstream infection (BSI) is the most frequent infection in critically ill patients.
As BSI's among patients in intensive care units (ICU's) are usually secondary to …

OBJECTIVES: Bloodstream infections (BSIs) acquired in the ICU represent a detrimental yet
potentially preventable condition. We determined the prevalence of BSI acquired in the ICU …

Objectives ICU-acquired bloodstream infection (ICUsingle bondBSI) in Intensive Care unit
(ICU) is still associated with a high mortality rate. The increase of antimicrobial drug …

Bloodstream infections (BSIs) are among the leading infections in critically ill patients. The
case-fatality rate associated with BSIs in patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) …

The incidence of healthcare-associated BSIs increases and is associated with bacteria
resistant to antimicrobials used in community-acquired infections. The recent years have …

Objective: To gain a better understanding of the epidemiology, microbiology, and outcomes
of early-onset, culture-positive, community-acquired, healthcare-associated, and hospital …

Objective Although bloodstream infection commonly results in critical illness, population-
based studies of the epidemiology of severe bloodstream infection are lacking. We sought to …

Objective Nosocomial bloodstream infections have been extensively investigated, but
relatively few studies have specifically evaluated the epidemiology of intensive care unit …
