Abstract
Bloodstream infections (BSIs) are frequent and heterogeneous; they may occur in community and nosocomial infections from diverse sources in different types of patients, and are caused by different organisms. BSIs are also a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients admitted to hospital. Therefore, management of patients with a BSI is a challenge, but the good news is that they are amenable to intervention.
