Occurrence of alert pathogens in patients hospitalised in the department of lung diseases.

CONCLUSIONS: Infections caused by alert pathogens were found in more than 4% of patients hospitalised in the department of lung diseases between 2007 and 2011. Their frequency was significantly higher in patients being qualified for lung transplantation than in other analysed groups. In all examined groups the most frequently isolated bacteria was P. aeruginosa (27% of all isolates). PMID: 25754051 [PubMed - in process]
