In order to assess the clinical importance of R factors 524 "coliform" infections were studied in a general hospital. Of these, 95 were caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Among the remaining 429, 43% were caused by drug-resistant enterobacteria; resistance was frequently multiple and determined by transmissible R factors. Choice of therapy was thus limited but in every case at least one antibiot...

Bloodstream infections (BSIs) are one of the most common healthcare-associated infections and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. From 1980 to 1990, the incidence of BSIs in U.S. hospitals was estimated to have increased by nearly 70%. In hospitalized patients, BSIs are estimated to account for approximately 10% of all healthcare-associated infections and to have an attributable mortali...

j Uch has been learned about the behaviour of the microbes that cause Section in hospitals and this epidemiological knowledge has helped to reduce Joss-infection by organisms from outside the patient. Thus, for example, ^vances have been made in preventing airborne infection in operating eatres and in excluding extraneous bacteria from surgical wounds, from abies' skin, and from the urinary tra...

Sammelweis first introduced the concept of infection control in hospitals in the mid-1800s but i t was not until about 20 years ago that the control of hospital infection has become such an important issue. In the United States, i t is estimated that approximately 5% of all hospital admissions acquire hospital infection.' The financial expense related to the management of these infections is es...
