    This second part presents the results of the survey of the microbial isolates frequency distribution by infection sites (principal NI classification groups) in the country throughout the period 1999-2011. The results refer to the overall percentage distribution of the isolates in major NI classification groups (VAP, LRTIs, SSIs, sepsis, UTIs) on the basis of the official registration data of the Computerized Information System-Nosocomial Infections (CIS-NI). The objective was to emphasize the tendencies in the isolation rate of the most frequent nosocomial pathogens for the period studied attempting to propose links for binding the surveillance of NI microbiological diagnostic with the special surveillance of patients undergoing risk procedures as well as a link for monitoring of the drug-resistance. The generalized CIS-NI database for .. View More»
