Hospital-acquired Enterobacteriaceae bloodstream infections in children.
Among the different age groups of children, newborns are most exposed to hospital-acquired bloodstream infection (HA-BSI), especially those who are burdened with additional risk factors, such as low birth weight, immaturity or exposition to medical procedures.

Short- and Long-term Effects of Bacterial Gastrointestinal Infections
During 1997–2004, microbiologically confirmed gastrointestinal infections were reported for 101,855 patients in Sweden. Among patients who had Salmonella infection (n = 34,664), we found an increased risk for aortic aneurysm (standardized incidence ratio

Phenotypic Detection of Virulence Factors of Uropathogenic Enterobacteriaceae
Members of the family Enterobacteriaceae are the major cause of nosocomial infections, including approximately 70% of gastrointestinal infections, 60% to 70% of urinary tract infections (UTIs), and septicemias.

Present and Future of Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) Infections [PDF]
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) have become a public health threat worldwide. There are three major mechanisms by which Enterobacteriaceae become resistant to carbapenems: enzyme production, efflux pumps and porin mutations. Of these, enzyme production is the main resistance mechanism.
