Bloodstream infections (BSI) are a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide [1]. These infections may arise secondarily to localized infection at a specific body site, or may be classified as primary when no focus is identified. Severe sepsis, septic shock, and multisystem organ dysfuncti...

This research aimed to analyze the clinical characteristics, prognosis, and antimicrobial treatment of bloodstream infections (BSI) caused by Enterobacter cloacae complex (ECC). Methods: The clinical data of patients with bloodstream infections caused by Enterobacter cloacae complex from April 201...
Background: Catheter-associated bacteremia is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease. Systemic antibiotics alone fail to cure this biofilm-associated infection leading to catheter removal in 70% of cases, thus limiting future vascular access and inflatin...
尽管这些导管提供了必要的血管通路, 但也将患者置于局部和全身性感染并发症的危险之中, 增加了感染的发生率, 并使导管相关性血流感染( catheter-related bloodstream infections, CRBSI) 更为常见, 明显延长了ICU 住院时间并增加了医疗费用。本文就近年来CRBSI 的发病机制、微生物学、诊断及治疗, 尤其是如何根据病原...
In September 2006, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was notified of cases of gram-negative bloodstream infection (BSI) occurring among outpatients who received an intravenous formulation of the prostanoid treprostinil. An investigation was conducted to determine rates of prostanoid-...
To compare the efficacy of colistin (COL) monotherapy versus non-COL based combinations in the treatment of bloodstream infections (BSIs) due to multidrug resistant Acinetobacter spp.(MDR-A). Retrospective data of 107 MDR-A BSI cases from 27 tertiary centers in Turkey were included. 14-day mort...
The article presents a position statement of European Renal Best Practice (ERBP) on the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of haemodialysis catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI). The ERBP, the European Renal Association-European Dialysis and Transplantation Association's (ERA-EDTA) new guidance...
Purpose: Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales bloodstream infections (CRE BSIs) have a high mortality. However, an optimal antimicrobial treatment has not been determined. This study was conducted to evaluate the risk factors for mortality and provided potential therapeutic options for treatment of CRE in...
