Glycopeptide Resistance among Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci That Cause Bacteremia: Epidemiological and Clinical Findings from a Case-Control Study

A 1-year prospective case-control study (ratio of control patients to case patients, 3:1) was performed to assess the incidence, risk factors, and genotypic patterns of bacteremia caused by ...

Earlier initiation of enteral nutrition is associated with lower risk of late-onset bacteremia only in most mature very low birth weight infants

To examine the temporal relationship between early enteral nutrition (EN) and coagulase-negative staphylococcal (CoNS)-related late-onset bacteremia (LOB) in very low birth weight (VLBW) neonates. Due ...

Incidence of and risk factors for persistent gram-positive bacteraemia and catheter-related thrombosis in haematopoietic stem cell transplantation

We employ a conservative approach towards the treatment of a single episode of bacteraemia due to CoNS and neither routinely employ antibiotics nor remove the CVC. This emanates from our observation ...
