Review of recommendations to prevent and reduce catheter-related bloodstream infections
ABSTRACT Aim. We sought to review studies regarding interventions to prevent or reduce catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs). Background. CRBSIs are associated with peripheral and central intravenous catheters, including nontunneled central catheters, tunneled central catheters, peripherally inserted central venous catheters (PICC), totally implanted intravascular access devices (por...
متن کاملClonal Multidrug-Resistant Corynebacterium striatum Strains, Italy
We assessed the clinical relevance and performed molecular characterization of 36 multidrug-resistant strains of Corynebacterium striatum. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis confirmed a single clone, possessing erm(X), tetA/B, cmxA/B, and aphA1 genes, but few related subclones. This strain is emerging as a pathogen in Italy.
متن کاملEconomic Evaluation and Catheter-related Bloodstream Infections
Catheter-related bloodstream infections are a serious problem. Many interventions reduce risk, and some have been evaluated in cost-effectiveness studies. We review the usefulness and quality of these economic studies. Evidence is incomplete, and data required to inform a coherent policy are missing. The cost-effectiveness studies are characterized by a lack of transparency, short time-horizons...

solution available in clinical settings, especially when current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines state that only solutions of PPD containing 5 TU/0.1 mL should be used.1 We have discontinued the 250 TU formulation in our institution. We urge caution in the interpretation of tuberculin tests and suggest careful examination of the strength of the solution before administration.
متن کاملMultidrug-Resistant Corynebacterium striatum Bacteremia: First Case in Korea
Dear Editor Corynebacteria are aerobic, non-spore forming, and gram-positive bacilli that are commensal organisms of skin and mucosal membranes. C. striatum, like other Corynebacterium species, is a part of the normal human skin flora; therefore, it has been frequently dismissed as a blood and airway sample contaminant in the past. However, C. striatum is emerging as a cause of bloodstream infe...
