Özet

Objectives: Nosocomial bloodstream infections (BSI) cause significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. These infections occur two to seven times more often in intensive care unit (ICU) patients than in ward patients. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of nosocomial BSI pathogens among patients admitted to our 18-bed cardiac surgical ICU (SICU).
