Epidemiology and risk factors for mortality in bloodstream infection by CP-Kp, ESBL-E, Candida and CDI: A single center retrospective study

Corcione S, et al. - A single-center retrospective study is performed to explore the association between epidemiology and risk factors for mortality in bloodstream infection by carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae (CP-Kp), ESBL-E, Candida and C. difficile infection (CDI).
