Introduction: In the present study, we aimed to describe the proportion of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae bloodstream infection (CRKP-BSI) in KP-BSI in one Chinese tertiary hospital over 10 years and determine the risk factors and outcomes of CRKP-BSI.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed clinical and microbiological data of patients with KP-BSI from January 2010 to December 2019 to identify risk factors, clinical features, and outcomes using multivariate logistic regression analysis. KP-BSI only included monomicrobial BSI and health care-acquired BSI.

A total of 2899 patients with COVID-19 were included as participants in this study, and they were divided into five groups based on hepatitis B infection status.
Purpose: To investigate the epidemiology, causative pathogen antibiotic susceptibility, and mortality risk factors of bloodstream infection (BSI) in patients with hematological malignancies (HMs).
Methods: Single-center retrospective analysis of BSI cases in patients with HMs in a Chinese tertiary hospital from 2012-2019.
Results: Among 17,796 analyzed admissions, 508 BSI episodes (2.
Objective: This study intends to analyze the data of fungemia in a large tertiary hospital from 2010 to 2019, and is aimed at understanding its epidemic characteristics and drug resistance.
Methods: The "Hospital Infection Real-Time Monitoring System" was used to retrieve the case information of patients who were hospitalized for more than 48 hours from 2010 to 2019. The questionnaire was designed to collect patients' basic information, infection situation, drug resistance, and other related information.
Objective: This research aimed to explore the application of a mathematical model based on deep learning in hospital infection control of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pneumonia.
Methods: First, the epidemic data of Beijing, China, were utilized to make a definite susceptible-infected-removed (SIR) model fitting to determine the estimated value of the COVID-19 removal intensity , which was then used to do a determined SIR model and a stochastic SIR model fitting for the hospital. In addition, the reasonable and estimates of the hospital were determined, and the spread of the epidemic in hospital was simulated, to discuss the impact of basal reproductive number changes, isolation, vaccination, and so forth on COVID-19.

Background: Hospital-acquired bloodstream infection (BSI) is associated with high morbidity and mortality and increases patients' length of stay (LOS) and hospital charges. Our goals were to calculate LOS and charges attributable to BSI and compare results among different models.
Methods: A retrospective observational cohort study was conducted in 2017 in a large general hospital, in Beijing.
bacteremia (SMB) is the most perilous situation as compared to other types of infection. The present study aimed to investigate the clinical features, distribution, drug resistance, and predictors of survival of SMB in a tertiary-care hospital of China. .

Bloodstream infection (BSI) is the most common healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) after interventional therapy, but there are few reports about it. This study intends to analyze the clinical characteristics and relevant factors of BSI after six years of interventional therapy in a large tertiary teaching hospital, in order to provide guidances for the prevention and control of BSI after interventional operations.

Methods: The real-time surveillance system scans the hospital's electronic databases related to HAI (e.g.
The magnitude and scope of the healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) burden are underestimated worldwide, and have raised public concerns for their adverse effect on patient safety. In China, HCAIs still present an unneglected challenge and economic burden in recent decades. With the purpose of reducing the HCAI prevalence and enhancing precision management, China's National Nosocomial Infection Management and Quality Control Center (NNIMQCC) had developed a Minimum Data Set (MDS) and corresponding Quality Indicators (QIs) for establishing national HCAI surveillance system, the data elements of which were repeatedly discussed, investigated, and confirmed by consensus of the expert team.

Background: Norovirus (NoV) has been recognized as the most important cause of nonbacterial acute gastroenteritis affecting all age group people in the world. Genetic recombination is a common occurance in RNA viruses and many recombinant NoV strains have been described since it was first reported in 1997. However, the knowledge of recombinant NoV in China is extremely limited.
