Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bloodstream infections frequently complicate community-acquired infections and are also among the most common hospital-acquired infections. Several changes are noted nowadays regarding the epidemiology and microbiology of both community-acquired bloodstream infections and hospital-acquired ones. These changes, mostly seen in hospital-acquired infections, are associated with the increasing prevalence of multidrug resistant microorganisms, either Gram-positives, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus, or Gram-negatives, such as Acinetobacter baumannii, carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales, and multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas.
In an attempt to better understand the problem of bloodstream infections, this Special Issue aims to gather research studies and reviews related to the epidemiology and microbiology of bloodstream infections, as well as the clinical characteristics, treatment, and outcomes of patients with bloodstream infections.
