Pin site colonization: Includes Erythema, warmth, drainage, possible pain, and positive culture.
Initial site colonization differences were still apparent in 2011 seed bank samples.
In some cases, initial site colonization differences were still apparent in 2011 seed bank samples.
An adjusted logit model indicated that surgery on ICU admission, total parenteral nutrition, colonization at multiple sites with Candida and severe sepsis were associated with an increased risk for proven Candida infection.
A study conducted in Japan examined the effects of early initiation of pre-emptive therapy with an azole (fluconazole or miconazole in 78% and 2% of patients, respectively) or an echinocandin (micafungin in 20%), which was initiated based on a combination of Candida colonization at multiple sites and a positive β- 1,3 -D-glucan test [ 71].
However, those authors suggested that surveillance of multiple sites might improve the detection rates for colonization of asymptomatic carriers due to the presence of distinct flora on other areas of the body.
This study indicated that participants in sports are more likely to carry or be colonized with MRSA than the general population, that such carriage may occur in multiple sites other than the nares, and that transient colonization with different strains was common.
We expected that culturing multiple sites would identify a higher rate of transient MRSA colonization.
We explored how grazing and algal colonization and growth in different zones and multiple sites in intertidal communities varied in relation to processes varying on local to mesoscales, including oceanographic variation.
Out of the three patients with multi-focal colonization, two had disseminated Candida infections involving multiple sites.
