This can be hospital, nursing home, diagnostic laboratory,outpatient clinic, rehabilitation facility or other clinical settings. Infection spread to the patient different ways. Medical staff also infection, beside contaminated equipment,air droplets bed linens. The developed from o...

identification of risk factors of acute hepatitis c virus (hcv) infection in egypt is crucial for developing appropriate prevention strategies. there are few community-based studies on the epidemiology and risk factors of hepatitis c infection in egypt, which could not provide enough information. clear identification of past and current risk factors for infection is of utmost importance so that...

Staphylococcus aureus is a widespread, hospital- and community-acquired pathogen, many strains of which are antibiotic resistant. It causes diverse diseases, ranging from local to systemic infection, affects both the skin internal organs, including heart, lungs, bones, brain.

Background. The epidemiology of Clostridium difficile infection has changed over time. Therefore, it is essential to monitor the characteristics of patients at risk of infection and factors associated with poor prognosis. Objective. To evaluate factors associated with C. difficile infection and with poor prognosis in those with documented C. difficile colitis. Methods. A retrospective case-cont...

Hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia is a common and serious complication of modern medical care. Many aspects of such infections remain unclear, including the mechanisms by which invading pathogens resist clearance by the innate immune response and the tendency of the infections to be polymicrobial. Here, we used a mouse model of infection to show that Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a leading cause ...

Little is known about the excess mortality caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infection in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We retrospectively obtained microbiology laboratory and hospital databases of nine public hospitals in northeast Thailand from 2004 to 2010, and linked these with the national death registry to obtain the 30-day mortality outcome. The 30-day mortality i...
