Article Synopsis
- Gram-positive enterococci, normally harmless gut bacteria, have become significant health threats, particularly to immunocompromised individuals, due to their ability to resist multiple antibiotics.
- An observational study involving 114 clinical samples (like urine and blood) aimed to assess the prevalence and resistance patterns of enterococci, highlighting a critical need for better infection control and surveillance measures.
- Results indicated that most isolates originated from urine (69.16%), with the highest infection rates found in individuals aged 41 to 50, emphasizing the varied distribution of these pathogens in clinical settings.
Background: The impact of race and socioeconomic status on clinical outcomes has not been quantified in patients hospitalized with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Objective: To evaluate the association between patient sociodemographics and neighborhood disadvantage with frequencies of death, invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), and intensive care unit (ICU) admission in patients hospitalized with COVID-19.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
