This study aimed to identify risk factors for remote infection (RI) within 30 days after colorectal surgery.

The alarming growth of antimicrobial resistance organisms (AMRs) and the threat caused by healthcare associated infections (HAIs) requires hospitalized individuals who are infected or colonized with AMRs to be cared for in isolation, predominantly in

The alarming growth of antimicrobial resistance organisms (AMRs) and the threat caused by health care–associated infections require hospitalized individuals who are infected or colonized with AMRs to be cared for in isolation, predominantly in single

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been increasingly used in China, but nosocomial infections (NI) in patients receiving ECMO remain poorly characterized. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the incidence rate, causative was pathogens
