TL;DR: The frequencies of resistance of Staphylococcus aureus isolates to methicillin (MRSA), Klebsiella pneumoniae to ceftazidime or ceftriaxone, Acinetobacter baumannii to imipenem, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa to piperacillin were far higher in the consortium's ICUs than in comparable US ICUs.

TL;DR: The results of an International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium (INICC) surveillance study from January 2007-December 2012 in 503 intensive care units (ICUs) in Latin America, Asia, Africa, and Europe were reported in this paper.

TL;DR: HCAI rates, LOS, mortality and bacterial resistance were high, and variations regarding surveillance may have affected HCAi rates.

TL;DR: These guidelines, written for clinicians, contains evidence-based recommendations for the prevention of hospital acquired infections Hospital acquired infections are a major cause of mortality and morbidity and provide challenge to clinicians.

TL;DR: It is shown that the implementation of a multidimensional infection control strategy is associated with a significant reduction in the CAUTI rate in AICUs from developing countries.
