A risk-based assessment of Enterococcal Bloodstream infection: Suggesting considerations in empirical therapy strategies in a tertiary care hospital
This study underscores the importance of early empirical therapy with enterococcal coverage in high-risk patients. Timely initiation of empirical coverage appears more crucial than later definitive therapy adjustments in improving survival. Invasive device use remains a significant risk factor, reinforcing the need for stringent infection control to prevent HAI, including E-BSI.
