Catheter-Associated Blood Stream Infections in Intracardiac Lines [PDF]
Purpose Right atrial (RA) or intracardiac lines are commonly used for hemodynamic monitoring in children undergoing cardiac surgery. In some institutions, these lines are used as the preferred long-term access line due to concerns for catheter-associated blood stream infections (CABSI) and catheter-related venous thrombosis with central ...

Transfusion and blood stream infections after coronary surgery [PDF]
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of blood transfusion on bloodstream infections. This study included 2764 patients who underwent isolated coronary artery bypass grafting. Blood cultures were drawn in 27.9% of patients and were positive in 3.5% of them. Blood transfusion before blood cultures were drawn (4.7% vs 1.2%, odds ratio 3.75, 95%

Enrichment of bacterial DNA for the diagnosis of blood stream infections [PDF]
Blood cultures are commonly employed to identify bacterial pathogens causing sepsis. PCR assays to diagnose septicemia require extraction of bacterial DNA from blood samples and thus, delay the initiation of appropriate antimicrobial treatment. The presence of abundant human DNA may hamper the sensitivity of PCR in the detection of bacteria.We used ...

Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia in Blood Stream Infections – An Overview
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (S. maltophilia) is an emerging, multidrug resistant, pathogenic non-fermenting gram-negative bacillus in both immunocompromised and immunocompetent individuals. As this organism is ubiquitous in nature, it is reported to cause hospital acquired as well as community acquired infections. It has been linked to a wide range of
