Gram-negative bloodstream infections
International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 2008Over the last 22 years we have prospectively recorded data for bloodstream infections (BSIs) in our institution. We reflect the experience of a tertiary teaching hospital with 1750-2500 beds that served a population ranging during the study period from 650,000 to 750,000 inhabitants. Definitions and microbiological methods were standard.
