متن کاملEmerging Aeromonas Species Infections and Their Significance in Public Health
Aeromonas species are ubiquitous bacteria in terrestrial and aquatic milieus. They are becoming renowned as enteric pathogens of serious public health concern as they acquire a number of virulence determinants that are linked with human diseases, such as gastroenteritis, soft-tissue, muscle infections, septicemia, and skin diseases. Proper sanitary procedures are essential in the prevention of ...
متن کاملInfections associated with indwelling devices: infections related to extravascular devices.
Infection complications of indwelling extravascular devices are reviewed including endotracheal tubes, urological catheters, cerebrospinal shunts, ocular prostheses, orthopedic protheses, peritoneal dialyses catheters, and IUDs. For each device a small number of pathogens accounts for the majority of infections. For most devices, infections of host skin origin, especially coagulase negative s...
