Biofilms, Coagulase Negative Staphylococci and the Saga of Catheter Related Bloodstream Infections
Catheter related bloodstream infections are a major problem in most tertiary care hospitals. Among the various organisms associated with nosocomial infections, coagulase negative staphylococci are responsible for majority of the catheter related infections. They are usually resistant to standard antibiotics necessitating prolonged hospital stay and amplifying the cost of treatment manifold whic...

متن کاملAntibiogram for Haemodialysis Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infections
Background. Haemodialysis (HD) catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) are a major complication of long-term catheter use in HD. This study identified the epidemiology of HD CRBSIs and to aid in the choice of empiric antibiotics therapy given to patients with HD CRBSIs. Methods. Patients with HD CRBSIs were identified. Their blood cultures were performed according to standard sterile t...
متن کاملCatheter-Related Bloodstream Infections in Critical Care
Central line insertion is a very common procedure in critical care settings, and is associated with infectious complications such as local colonisation and bloodstream infection which leads to bacteremia and sepsis. Causative microorganisms are commonly missed on blood cultures, so that empiric therapy must be started in absence of a known pathogen. Diagnosis is based on clinical suspicio...
