The clinical usefulness of an ongoing bacteremia surveillance program

The American Journal of the Medical Sciences

Abstract

Surveillance of bacteremic patients within one week of the detection of a positive blood culture provides information of great clinical utility for relatively little effort. In this report one year's experience is reviewed to illustrate that an individual hospital's experience with bacteremia may diverge from national norms. Such reviews may also detect recurring errors in medical judgment which may be corrected through proper education.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases (ASM)

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

CRISPR & Staphylococcus

CRISPR-Cas system enables the editing of genes to create or correct mutations. Staphylococci are associated with life-threatening infections in hospitals, as well as the community. Here is the latest research on how CRISPR-Cas system can be used for treatment of Staphylococcal infections.
