Roseomonas mucosa is an opportunistic pathogen that causes infections in humans and is often associated with vascular catheter-related bacteremia. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Roseomonas mucosa strain AU37, isolated from a peripheral intravenous catheter tip.

Kluyvera cryocrescens was isolated from a blood culture drawn from a patient with a Broviac catheter-related infection. K. cryocrescens has been considered an opportunistic pathogen but has not previously been associated with central venous catheter infections.

Infection control personnel familiar with the studies underlying recent guideline recommendations for the prevention of intravascular catheter-related infections could conclude that it would be easy to minimize the risk of such infections. Randomized, controlled trials have demonstrated that prepping the skin with chlorhexidine antiseptic can reduce the risk of catheter-related bloodstream infe...

Background and Purpose: Catheter-related blood circulation infection is the most dangerous and serious side-effects of vascular catheters, which leads to the enhancement of the costs, mortality, and hospital stay duration, especially in the Intensive Care Unit. Regarding this, the aim of the current study was to identify the prevalence of catheter-induced candidemia in the Tehran Heart Center, ...

INTRODUCTION Bloodstream infections are the second most common cause of death among patients on hemodialysis. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of and risk factors associated with central venous catheter-related infections in patients undergoing hemodialysis, and to identify and characterize the type and antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of the primary microorganisms isolated durin...

BACKGROUND Needleless intravascular catheter connector valves have been introduced into clinical practice to minimize the risk of needlestick injury. However, infection-control risks associated with these valves may be underappreciated. In March 2005, a dramatic increase in bloodstream infections was noted in multiple patient care units of a hospital in temporal association with the introductio...

Objective: Examine the prevalence of common bacteria and their antibiotic susceptibility in individuals with urinary tract infections caused by indwelling catheters. Study Design: Cross-sectional descriptive research. Place Duration study: From January 30, 2021, to July 29, researchers from Department Medicine at Muhammad Teaching Hospital Peshawar, collected data for this study. Materials Meth...

BACKGROUND Bloodstream infection related to short-term use of noncuffed central venous catheters is a common and serious problem. Technologic innovations to reduce the risk for these infections are needed. OBJECTIVE To determine 1) the efficacy of a novel antiseptic catheter in preventing central venous catheter-related infection, 2) patient tolerance of this catheter, and 3) the sources of b...

The presence of biofilms on intravascular catheters and their role in catheter-related bloodstream infections is well accepted. The tolerance of catheter-associated biofilm organisms toward systemic antimicrobial treatments and the potential for development of antimicrobial resistance in the health care environment underscores the importance of alternative treatment strategies. Biofilms are mic...
