ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1016/0195-6701(93)90039-3 | Abstract: | We reviewed staphylococcal lower respiratory tract infections in our intensive care unit over a 12-month period. Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from tracheal aspirates more commonly in patients with intracranial trauma (P < 0.001), between one and six days (mean = 3) after admission to the intensive care unit. Bacteriophage typing of all S. aureus lower respiratory tract isolates from the 17 patients with head injury did not provide evidence for a common external source of infection or patient-to-patient transmission. | Source Title: | Journal of Hospital Infection | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/31296 | ISSN: | 01956701 | DOI: | 10.1016/0195-6701(93)90039-3 |
