Background Despite the development of new microbiologic technologies, blood cultures
(BCs) remain the first-line tool for the diagnosis of bloodstream infections. Their diagnostic …

Purpose This study aims to develop and validate a nomogram for predicting the risk of
bloodstream infections (BSI) in critically ill patients based on their admission status to the …

Objective This study aims to investigate the distribution and drug resistance of bacteria in
clinical blood culture specimens from children in Jiangxi province in recent years and to …

With an estimated 440,000 active cases occurring each year, medical device associated
infections pose a significant burden on the US healthcare system, costing about $9.8 billion …

Background In recent years, the incidence of bloodstream infections (BSI) has increased, the
composition of pathogenic bacteria has changed, and drug resistance among bacteria has …

Prevalence of invasive ß-haemolytic streptococci (BHS) at a tertiary care hospital and
molecular diversity of S. pyogenes and S. dysgalactiae was studied. Between 2012 and …

Results A total of 92,097 isolates were obtained, 44.5% of them were coagulase-negative
staphylococci. Enterobacteriales was the most prevalent group and an increase in frequency …

Group A streptococci (GAS) are among the most frequent pathogens in children. Many
epidemiological studies focus on specific GAS infections (such as tonsillopharyngitis or …

Aims: Recent reports indicate that many coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) strains
are resistant to most antimicrobials used against staphylococcal infections. This study was …
