Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infections in Neonates with Gastrointestinal Conditions: developing a candidate definition for mucosal barrier injury bloodstream infections

摘要

ObjectivesTo develop a candidate definition for central line-associated blood stream infection (CLABSI) in neonates with presumed mucosal barrier injury due to gastrointestinal (MBI-GI) conditions; to evaluate epidemiology and microbiology of MBI-GI CLABSI in infants.
