متن کاملDevice-associated Nosocomial Infection Rates
Standards for routine surveillance of nosocomial infections have been a fixture in U.S. hospitals since the role of surveillance in reducing rates of infection among hospitalized patients was demonstrated in the Study on the Efficacy of Nosocomial Infection Control (SENIC) project.1 Similar standards for infection control surveillance have been adopted in other developed countries.2 Unfortunate...
متن کاملBiofilms and device-associated infections.
Microorganisms commonly attach to living and nonliving surfaces, including those of indwelling medical devices, and form biofilms made up of extracellular polymers. In this state, microorganisms are highly resistant to antimicrobial treatment and are tenaciously bound to the surface. To better understand and control biofilms on indwelling medical devices, researchers should develop reliable sam...
