Changing epidemiology of bloodstream infection pathogens over time in adult non-specialty patients at an Australian tertiary hospital.

This study found that gram negative BSIs appeared to be re-emerging, particularly in community onset infections and also amongst the younger patients at the study institution. Such epidemiological trends have important implications for antimicrobial choices for the treatment of undifferentiated sepsis. PMID: 23330707 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
