Nosocomial Infections Candidiasis remains the most common type of nosocomial fungal infection, particularly in the immunocompromised. Risk factors for fungal infections include antibiotic treatments, chemotherapy, intravascular catheters, neutropenia, hemodialysis, or prior fungal infection.

Types of Healthcare-associated Infections Types of Healthcare-associated Infections. Modern healthcare employs many types of invasive devices and procedures to treat patients and to help them recover. Infections can be associated with the devices used in medical procedures, such as catheters or ventilators. These healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) include central line-associated bloodstream infections, catheter-associated urinary tract infections, and ventilator-associated pneumonia. Infections may also occur at surgery sites, known as surgical site infections.

Brief communicationNosocomial infections caused by Elizabethkingia meningoseptica: an emergent pathogen The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical and epidemiological features and the outcomes of nosocomial infections caused by E. meningoseptica isolated at two hospitals involving different specialties.ll infections caused by this pathogen were nosocomial, or healthcare associated infections, in hemodialysis settings whereas none was associated with hospital outbreaks. An increase of uncommon Gram-negative bacilli has occurred in the last decade in the nosocomial environment.

Enterocolitis Among the causal agents of acute enterocolitis are: bacteria: Salmonella, Shigella, Escherichia coli, Campylobacter etc.; viruses: enteroviruses, rotaviruses, Norwalk virus, adenoviruses; fungi: candidiasis, especially in immunosuppressed patients or who have previously received prolonged antibiotic treatment;

- The pathogens responsible for hospital-acquired (nosocomial) septicaemia depend on the type of patient, the underlying disease and recent medical and surgical treatment. The microbial flora of hospitals vary greatly in type and susceptibility.

- The prevalence of Serratia species as a cause of nosocomial infections is diminishing, but these bacteria are still able to cause hospital outbreaks, especially in intensive care units.

- Enterococcus faecalis Wesley Glick Enterococcus faecalis is a nonmotile, gram-positive, spherical bacterium. It can be observed singly, in pairs, or in short chains, and is most often found in the large intestine of humans. It is a facultative anaerobe with a fermentative metabolism. It can often be confused with S. pneumonia, but E. faecalis contains many identification features that can be verified with testing. E. faecalis is listed as the first to the third leading cause of nosocomial infections. Most of these infections occur after surgery of the abdomen or a puncturing trauma, but can also be linked to the increased use of IV’s and catheters, which are considered compromising devises.

Nosocomial Infections Nosocomial Infections. Infections acquired during a hospital stay are called nosocomial infections. Formally, they are are defined as infections arising after 48 hours of hospital admission. For earlier periods it is presumably assumed that the infection arose prior to admission, though this is not always going to be true.

Acute and Chronic Bacterial Cystitis Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common nosocomial infections. They account for more than 7 million physician visits and over 1 million hospital admissions in the United States each year. They are the most common bacterial infection in older adults and the most frequent source of bacteremia.

Kevin Conrad 1.2.5 Other nosocomial infections These are the four most frequent and importantnosocomial infections, but there are many otherpotential sites of infection. For example: ● Skin and soft tissue infections: open sores (ulcers,burns and bedsores) encourage bacterial coloni-zation and may lead to systemic infection.

Enterococcus faecalis Enterococci have emerged as a major cause of nosocomial infections, and within this group Enterococcus faecalis causes the majority of human enterococcal infections. These infections may be local or systematic and include urinary tract and abdominal infections, wound infections, bacteremia, and endocarditis (2).

Enterobacter aerogenes Risk factors for nosocomial Enterobacter species like E. aerogenes infections include hospitalization of greater than 2 weeks, invasive procedures in the past 72 hours, treatment with antibiotics in the past 30 days, and the presence of a central venous catheter.

Enterococcal Infections Infections commonly caused by enterococci include urinary tract infection (UTIs), endocarditis, bacteremia, catheter-related infections, wound infections, and intra-abdominal and pelvic infections. Many infecting strains originate from the patient's intestinal flora.

Hospital-Acquired Infections About 5-10% of patients admitted to hospitals in the United States develop a nosocomial infection. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that more than two million patients develop hospital-acquired infections in the United States each year. About 90,000 of these patients die as a result of their infections.

- Hospital-acquired infections are a common, costly, and potentially lethal patient safety problem [ 1, 2 ]. The most common hospital-acquired infection is urinary tract infection (UTI), which accounts for almost 40% of all nosocomial infections [ 3 – 5 ].

Severe Maternal Sepsis in the UK, 2011â2012: A National Case-Control Study A nosocomial UTI was defined by a urine culture obtained after 48 h of admission to hospital. A patient with a positive urine culture was assumed to have asymptomatic bacteriuria if there were no signs or symptoms referable to the urinary tract, no fever, and no evidence of infection at another site (4,7,9).

- Chronic Pulmonary Infections. The lung is a frequent target of infection including acute bronchitis or pneumonia, which are often caused by viruses, but also can be caused by bacteria or fungal organisms. With rest, supportive care, and occasionally antibiotics most of these infections should improve in a few weeks.pecific infections that are common in central Ohio include: Histoplasmosis: a fungus that lives in the soil and is associated with bird droppings. Histoplasmosis can not be passed person to person. It can cause either an acute or chronic pneumonia.

Enterococcal Infections Enterococci are gram-positive aerobic organisms. Enterococcus faecalis and E. faecium cause a variety of infections, including endocarditis, UTI, prostatitis, intra-abdominal infection, cellulitis, and wound infection as well as concurrent bacteremia. Enterococci are part of the normal intestinal flora. They used to be classified as group D streptococci but are now considered a separate genus. There are > 17 species, but E. faecalis and E. faecium most commonly cause infections in humans.
