TL;DR: Ettiologic shifts in nosocomial infections and an upsurge of antimicrobial resistance among these pathogens, particularly those isolated from intensive care units, are impressive and alarming.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical and microbiological characteristics of Flavobacterium indologenes infections associated with indwelling devices.
TL;DR: Thirteen isolates derived from seven patients with indwelling device-associated F. indologenes infections were identified and showed in vitro resistance to cephalothin, cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, moxalactam, aztreonam, aminoglycosides, erythromycin, clindamycin, vancomycin, and teicoplanin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacteremia caused by Arcobacter cryaerophilus 1B.
Po-Ren Hsueh,Lee-Jene Teng,Pan-Chyr Yang,Shu-Kuan Wang,Shan-Chwen Chang,Shen-Wu Ho,Wei-Chuan Hsieh,Kwen-Tay Luh +7 more
TL;DR: Arcobacter cryaerophilus group 1B, a gram-negative, curved or helical bacillus primarily known as a bovine and porcine pathogen, was isolated from the blood of a uremic patient with hematogenous pneumonia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Secular trends in the epidemiology of nosocomial fungal infections at a teaching hospital in Taiwan, 1981 to 1993
TL;DR: Candida species and other yeasts have become a prominent cause of nosocomial infections in this hospital and these fungal pathogens accounted for a higher proportion of Nosocomial bloodstream and urinary infections than any single bacterial species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stable susceptibility of Candida blood isolates to fluconazole despite increasing use during the past 10 years
TL;DR: There was no significant change in the susceptibility to fluconazole for bloodstream isolates of Candida species, and efforts to improve the rational use of antifungal agents at National Taiwan University Hospital appear to be attributed to several factors.
