The most common pathogens isolated from vascular device–associated bacteremias include coagulase-negative staphylococci, S. polysaccharide biofilms that facilitate attachment to catheters and provide sanctuary from antimicrobial agents. Infections related to vascular catheters and monitoring devices may be the most preventable of nosocomial infections. Evidence-based bundles of control measures (Table 125-2) have been strikingly effective, eliminating all infections in one ICU study.

Urinary Tract Infections. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) account for as many as 40–45% of nosocomial infections. Although UTIs contribute only 10–15% to prolongation of hospital stay and to extra costs, these infections are important reservoirs and sources for spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in hospitals. Almost all nosocomial UTIs are associated with preceding instrumentation or indwelling bladder catheters, which create a 3–10% risk of infection each day.

Surgical Wound Infections. Wound infections account for up to 20–30% of nosocomial infections but contribute up to 57% of extra hospital days and 42% of extra costs. The average wound infection has an incubation period of 5–7 days (longer than many postoperative stays), and many procedures are now performed on an outpatient basis. Thus the incidence of wound infections has become difficult to assess..

Type 4 and type 5 SCCmecs have been associated with community-acquired MRSA strains.. A limited number of MRSA clones have been responsible for most community and hospital-associated infections worldwide. A comparison of these strains with those from earlier outbreaks (e.g., the phage 80/81 strains from the 1950s) has revealed preservation of the nucleotide sequence over time. observation suggests that these strains possess determinants facilitating survival and spread.

Outbreaks and emerging pathogens are always big news but probably account for <5% of nosocomial infections. Concern about emerging pathogens often prompts authorities to require hospitals to develop contingency and response plans.

First, the emergence of community-acquired MRSA has been dramatic in many countries, with as many as 50% of community-acquired "staph infections". The potential incursion of these strains into hospitals and the resulting impact on control of nosocomial MRSA infections are of enormous concern.

The growing number of states that require public reporting of processes for prevention of health care–. associated infection and/or patient outcomes has added new complexity to what hospitals measure and how they measure it.. In general, 5–10% of patients develop nosocomial infections—a rate that, as patient advocates emphasize, has remained unchanged for 20–30 years.

These species resemble viridans streptococci with respect to habitat in the human host and associated infections.. The transient viridans streptococcal bacteremia induced by eating, tooth- brushing, flossing, and other sources of minor trauma, together with adherence to biologic surfaces, is thought to account for the predilection of these organisms to cause endocarditis (see Fig.

Bone infections that result from contiguous spread tend to develop from soft tissue infections, such as those associated with diabetic or vascular ulcers, surgery, or trauma. Bone involvement is established by bone culture and histopathologic examination (revealing, for. example, evidence of PMN infiltration). Contamination of culture material from adjacent tissue can make the diagnosis of osteomyelitis difficult in the absence of pathologic confirmation.
