Cardiac electrical device-related bacterial infections: Prevention, diagnosis, and management
Significant developmentin modern cardiac (or cardiovascular) electrical devices (CIEDs), including permanent pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), and cardiac resynchronization therapy, is contributing to the improvement in both the survival rate and quality of life in patients with cardiac arrhythmias and/or heart failure. The number of CIED implantations has increased si...
متن کاملNonvalvular cardiovascular device-related infections.
More than a century ago, Osler took numerous syndrome descriptions of cardiac valvular infection that were incomplete and confusing and categorized them into the cardiovascular infections known as infective endocarditis. Because he was both a clinician and a pathologist, he was able to provide a meaningful outline of this complex disease. Technical advances have allowed us to better subcategori...
متن کاملAssociation between methicillin susceptibility and biofilm regulation in Staphylococcus aureus isolates from device-related infections.
Production of icaADBC-encoded polysaccharide intercellular adhesin, or poly-N-acetylglucosamine (PIA/PNAG), represents an important biofilm mechanism in staphylococci. We previously described a glucose-induced, ica-independent biofilm mechanism in four methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates. Here, biofilm regulation by NaCl and glucose was characterized in 114 MRSA and 98 m...
متن کاملChallenges in microbiological diagnosis of invasive Aspergillus infections
Invasive aspergillosis (IA) has been increasingly reported in populations other than the historical hematology patients and there are new questions about the performance of microbiological tools. Microscopy and culture have been completed by biomarkers, either antigens or DNA, and in blood or respiratory specimens or both. First studied in hematology, the antigen galactomannan performance in se...
متن کاملPrevention of Device-Related Healthcare-Associated Infections
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients. Up to 15% of patients develop an infection while hospitalized in the United States, which accounts for approximately 1.7 million HAIs, 99,000 deaths annually and over 10 billion dollars in costs per year. A significant percentage of HAIs are preventable using evidenced-based strategi...
