| changing patterns of susceptibilities of blood, urinary and respiratory pathogens in hong kong. | the incidence and antimicrobial susceptibility of organisms isolated from blood, urine and respiratory specimens at a teaching hospital in hong kong were studied retrospectively from 1986-1993. the incidence of gram-positive bacteraemia, particularly coagulase-negative staphylococci (cns), increased significantly from 33.6 to 47.3% (p < 0.001) while that of gram-negative bacteraemia fell from 60.0 to 47.0% (p < 0.001). among blood isolates, methicillin resistance of cns increased from 17.0 to 58 ... | 1995 | 8926380 |
