Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection, Clostridioides difficile Colitis, Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infection, and Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Abstract
Hospital-acquired infections increase cost, morbidity, and mortality for patients across the United States and the world. Principal among these infections are central line-associated bloodstream infection, catheter-associated urinary tract infection, Clostridioides difficile, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus colonization and infections. This article provides succinct summaries of the background, epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of these conditions. In addition, novel prevention strategies, including those related to recent national interventions, are reviewed.
Keywords: Bloodstream infection; Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI); Central line–associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI); Clostridioides difficile colitis; Hospital-acquired infection; Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus; Urinary tract infection.
