Data from the study by Cardoso et al. [ 22] is split in four components (respiratory, urinary, intra-abdominal and bloodstream infections), in order to facilitate microbiology profile interpretation and synthesis.
The permissive criteria for study inclusion in this review were essential to achieve the main goal: gathering all studies on HCAI that provided a detailed microbiology profile by focus of infection.
Although previous studies have attempted to investigate the clinical characteristics of NF in diabetic patients [ 15– 17], little is known about the microbiology profile and the mortality-associated factors of these patients.
This systematic review provides evidence that HCAI represents a separate group of infections in terms of the microbiology profile, including a significant association with infection by PDR pathogens, for the main focus of infection.
This systematic review provides evidence that HCAI is significantly different from CAI and HAI, representing a separate group of infections in terms of the microbiology profile, including a significant association with infection by PDR pathogens, for the main focus of infection.
We aimed to determine the rate, severity, risk factors, standard patterns of care and microbiology resistance profiles associated with TRUS biopsy sepsis.
Collected data included demographic profile, microbiology culture, and antibiotic susceptibility of isolates determined by Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method, management, duration since primary SB surgery was performed and incidence of RD after buckle removal with outcome after re-surgery for RD.
The Clinical Microbiology Laboratories determined the susceptibility profile of each isolate by using the Vitek 2 system (bioMérieux Vitek, Inc., Durham, NC, USA) for methicillin, erythromycin, clindamycin, ciprofloxacin, rifampin, gentamicin, tetracycline, and vancomycin.
To address the hypothesis that bile aspiration significantly influences the microbiology of the CF lung, DGGE profiling was performed on a paediatric patient cohort from Cork University Hospital, Ireland.
To support infectious disease and/or infection control specialists locally, computerized data on the isolation of clinically relevant microbial species and their drug-resistance profiles are usually available from microbiology laboratory information systems.
