Estimating the effect of healthcare-associated infections on excess length of hospital stay using inverse probability-weighted survival curves [PDF]

, 2020
Background: Studies estimating excess length of stay (LOS) attributable to nosocomial infections have failed to address time-varying confounding, likely leading to overestimation of their impact.

Prevalence and 30-day all-cause mortality of carbapenem-and colistin-resistant bacteraemia caused by Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumoniae: Description of a decade-long trend

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2019
Background: Bacteraemia due to carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacteria is challenging. This study examined the burden of carbapenem and colistin resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii bacteraemia in ...

The species distribution, antimicrobial resistance and risk factors for poor outcome of coagulase-negative staphylococci bacteraemia in China

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2019
Objective Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are one of the major opportunistic pathogens and the incidence of CoNS bacteraemia is increasing. However, most of the CoNS-positive blood cultures are contaminants rather than true CoNS bacteraemia.

The Role of the Bacteroides spp. in Bacteraemia

Postępy Mikrobiologii, 2022
Anaerobic bacteraemia is not frequent (1.2–13.7%), but is associated with a high mortality rate of 16–27%. Anaerobic infections including bacteraemia nearly always arise from contamination by endogenous bacteria into contiguous or other sites like ...

Splenic macrophages as the source of bacteraemia during pneumococcal pneumonia

EBioMedicine, 2021
Background: Severe community-acquired pneumococcal pneumonia is commonly associated with bacteraemia. Although it is assumed that the bacteraemia solely derives from pneumococci entering the blood from the lungs it is unknown if other organs are ...

Results of an early intervention programme for patients with bacteraemia: analysis of prognostic factors and mortality

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2017
Background Bacteraemia is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in patients admitted to hospital. The aim of this study is to analyse the results of a two-year programme for the early optimisation of antibiotic treatment in patients admitted to the ...
