Espejo E, et al. - Researchers performed a prospective observational cohort study of patients with bacteremia associated with pressure ulcers (BAPU) at a teaching hospital between January 1984 and December 2015 to ascertain the clinical and microbiological characteristics of BAPU. They also assessed the factors associated with mortality. In blood culture, the most frequent microorganisms isolated were Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus spp., and Bacteroides spp. The bacteremia was polymicrobial in 25.0% cases. They noted a high Mortality rate. Hospital-acquired bacteremia, polymicrobial bacteremia, and serum albumin < 23 g/L were noted to be associated with increased mortality.
