The mean BSI incidence density was 6.56 per 1000 patient-days. The incidence density increased linearly during the study period (from 3.57 to 9.60 per 1000 patient-days). Staphylococcus aureus was most frequently isolated (47.3%), followed by Enterococcus spp. (10.8%) and Candida spp. (10.1%). There was a high rate of resistance to several of the prescribed antimicrobials among the bacteria isolated from patients with BSIs.en10.1111/j.1469-0691.2009.02863.xinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBloodstream infectionincidenceaetiologyantimicrobial resistanceintensive care unitRisk-FactorsSurveillance ProgramNosocomial InfectionsSecular TrendsLatin-AmericaSusceptibilityPopulationFrequencyIstanbulTurkeyArticle1510943946Q1WOS:0002709583000102-s2.0-7035060470819548920Q1
