Data should be organized in a tabular fashion with percentage susceptibilities reported separately for gram-positive and gram-negative organisms.13 The data also may be categorized by patient locations, such as inpatient, outpatient, or at the hospital unit level.13 Hospital epidemiologists can ...
METHODS. Retrospective analysis was performed on patients diagnosed with EO (n=89) at University Hospital in Newark from January 2016 to December 2020 using ICD-10 codes H44.0-H44.009, H44.1, and H44.19. Patients included were 18 years of age or older with culture proven GN endogenous EO (...
During the upstroke of a myocardial action potential, the inside of the cell abruptly changes from its resting negative potential (with respect to the outside of the cell) to a neutral or slightly positive potential. After about 250 to 400 milliseconds (msec), the cell membrane is then re...
Spinal Cord Injury Increases the Risk of Gram-Negative BacteremiaIndividuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) have a lifelong increased risk of systemic infection, including bacteremia. Although gram-positive pathogens are, in general, the most common cause of nosocomial bloodstream infections, we ...
Tobramycin (2.5 mg/ml) and 10 mM PBS (pH 7.0) served as positive controls in the same e-plate whereas Triton X100 served as a negative control. Culture was maintained for 96 hours with no media change. CI values of treated groups were normalized once the values stabilized after ...

The number of negative instances depends on the corresponding number of positive instance in order to build a balanced dataset. The dataset is divided into a training part and a testing set, and we perform a 10-fold cross validation. Finally, we report the evaluation results of the negative ...
Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) have raised concerns as common, frequent etiologic agents of nosocomial infections, and patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) present the highest risk for colonization and infection. The i
