CLABSI pathogens during the COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract:

To assess potential changes in the pathogens attributed to central line-associated bloodstream infections between 2019 and 2020, hospital data from the National Healthcare Safety Network were analyzed. Compared to 2019, increases in the proportions of pathogens identified as Enterococcus faecalis and coagulase-negative staphylococci were observed during 2020.
