Microbiological spectrum of pathogens in cardiac surgery patients in the intensive care unit by К.П. Чиж, Т.А. Малишева, А.П. Мазур

“…The presence of hospital-acquired flora in patients prolongs their stay in the ICU, increases the duration of antibiotic therapy, and treatment costs. The occurrence of such an infection is the result of a complex interaction of pathogenic (virulence, antibiotic resistance), patients’ (comorbidities, acute illnesses, emergency surgery), and treatment factors (invasive devices), and the work of the health care system (staffing, preventive measures). …”
