The septic multiple-trauma patient.
Mark Stillwell,Ellis S. Caplan +1 more
TL;DR: Sepsis in the multiple trauma patient is being seen with increased frequency now that more of these patients are surviving the initial period, and continuing close surveillance is important to prevent or to identify infections at the earliest possible time.

A survey of infection in an intensive care unit. "Forewarned is forearmed".
TL;DR: It was found that the mortality rate was higher in the infected group than in the non-infected group and particularly so in patients who had had intra-abdominal surgery or who remained in the unit for longer than a week.

Contamination and Crossinfection with Clostridium difficile in an Intensive Care Unit
TL;DR: Its persistence in the hospital environment for several weeks, most likely as spores, suggests that patients who develop pseudomembranous colitis should be isolated, especially in areas of high antibiotic usage.

Sources of gram-negative infection after open-heart surgery.
TL;DR: Most patients became colonized while in the surgical intensive care unit (SICU), and it appeared that heavily colonized and often infected patients who required extended stay in the SICU were the main reservoir for gram-negative nosocomial organisms.

Hospital-acquired infections.
TL;DR: The scope of the infectious disease problems in most hospitals today are those that occur in the hospital — so-called nosocomial infections, and the scope of this discussion is defined briefly.

Long-term evaluation of decontamination of inhalation-therapy equipment and the occurrence of necrotizing pneumonia.
TL;DR: Daily decontamination of reservoir nebulizer equipment with 0.25 per cent acetic acid is effective and practical in routine hospital use, and the prevalence of necrotizing pneumonia due to gram-negative bacilli at autopsy during the "preacetic acid era" is similar to that found before the use of reservoirs nebulizers.

A Hospital Outbreak of Serratia marcescens Associated with Ultrasonic Nebulizers
Robert E. Ringrose,Beverly A. McKown,Frances G. Felton,Billy O. Barclay,Harold G. Muchmore,Everett R. Rhoades +5 more
TL;DR: A sevenfold increase in the frequency of isolation of Serratia marcescens was noted during a 2-month period, and the majority of these patients acquired the virus during this period.

Fine-particle humidifiers. Source of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in a respiratory-disease unit.
TL;DR: The fine-particle aerosol from unheated room humidifiers (Walton "centrifugal atomizer," Model HA) was shown to cause heavy environmental contamination by Ps.
