    Abstract : Background Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) and in particular Staphylococcus epidermidis have emerged as major pathogens primarily causing nosocomial infections in patients with indwelling medical devices. These infections are often caused by multidrug-resistant strains of S. epidermidis (MDRSE). READ MORE

    Abstract : Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common disease; most cases are managed in primary health care (PHC. Dipslide (a type of urine culture test designed for point of care testing) is used in PHC in Sweden for the diagnosis of UTI. The results in an external quality assessment programme initiated in 1993 for dipslide did not improve over the years. READ MORE

    Abstract : ABSTRACT Background: Up to half the residents of nursing homes for the elderly have asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU), which should not be treated with antibiotics. Thus, it is difficult to know if new symptoms in residents with bacteriuria are caused by urinary tract infection (UTI), or if bacteriuria only represents an ABU. READ MORE
