Bloodstream infection among adults in Phnom Penh, Cambodia: key pathogens and resistance patterns.

<h4>Background</h4>Bloodstream infections (BSI) cause important morbidity and mortality worldwide. In Cambodia, no surveillance data on BSI are available so far.<h4>Methods</h4>From all adults presenting with SIRS at Sihanouk Hospital Centre of HOPE (July 2007-December 2010),...
