Bad bugs, no drugs: no ESKAPE! An update from the Infectious Diseases Society of America. (2009, background): “Consistently identiﬁed as the third most frequent cause of nosocomial bloodstream infection (BSI) in the United States, enterococcal BSIs remain a signiﬁcant problem [48, 49].”
Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Intravascular Catheter-Related Infection: 2009 Update by the Infectious Diseases Society of America (2009, background): “Enterococci account for 10% of all nosocomial bloodstream infections [155, 156], many of which are caused by intravascular catheters.”
Epidemiology and outcomes of candidemia in 2019 patients: data from the prospective antifungal therapy alliance registry. (2009, background): “The highest and lowest crude mortality rates reported in the SCOPE surveillance study [30] were for C.”
Hidden Killers: Human Fungal Infections (2012, neutral): “Indeed, Candida species are the fourth most common cause of nosocomial (hospital-acquired) bloodstream infections ( 13 ), and advanced medical procedures — such as the use of catheters, neonatal intensive care, major gut surgery, or liver transplantation — are predisposing factors to disseminated…”
Acinetobacter baumannii: Emergence of a Successful Pathogen (2008, background): “6 bloodstream infection per 10,000 admissions) (597).”
Guidelines for the prevention of intravascular catheter-related infections. (2011, neutral): “Gram negative bacilli accounted for 19% and 21% of CLABSIs reported to CDC(209) and the Surveillance and Control of Pathogens of Epidemiological Importance (SCOPE) database, respectively.(208) For all common pathogens causing CLABSIs, antimicrobial resistance is a problem, particularly in ICUs.”
epic3: National Evidence-Based Guidelines for Preventing Healthcare-Associated Infections in NHS Hospitals in England (2007, background): “[341] [342] [343] CR-BSI is generally caused either by skin microorganisms at the insertion site, which contaminate the catheter during insertion and migrate along the cutaneous catheter track after insertion, [344] [345] [346] or microorganisms from the hands of healthcare workers that contaminate ”
Guidelines for the prevention of intravascular catheter-related infections. (2002, neutral): “logical Importance (SCOPE) database, respectively [208].”
Temporal shifts in the skin microbiome associated with disease flares and treatment in children with atopic dermatitis (2012, background): “The genus Staphylococcus includes several bacterial species relevant to clinical disease, including S. epidermidis as a skin commensal (Wisplinghoff et al. 2004; Hidron et al. 2008) and S. aureus as a pathogen with a known association with AD.”
Micafungin versus caspofungin for treatment of candidemia and other forms of invasive candidiasis. (2007, result): “Candida species recovered at baseline from patients in this trial were similar to those observed in several recently completed therapeutic trials for candidemia and were consistent with recent epidemiologic trends [1–7, 10].”
Microbiology and immunology of fish larvae (2013, background): “Studies of the human intestinal microbiota show that many of the species comprising smaller populations in the intestine, including E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus, are known to play a significant role in health (Wislinghoff et al. 2004).”
Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Candidiasis: 2009 Update by the Infectious Diseases Society of America (2009, background): “Candida species are an increasing cause of sepsis among nonneutropenic patients receiving intensive care; one-half to twothirds of all episodes of candidemia occur in an ICU or surgical ward [5, 8].”
Prosthetic Joint Infection (2014, background): “In addition to being a leading cause of PJI, it is one of the common causes of serious invasive infections, including nosocomial and health care-associated bloodstream infections, which can subsequently lead to PJI (121, 122).”
Staphylococcal biofilms (2018, background): “aureus for 20% of cases, far ahead any other microorganism (21).”
