The Impact of Bacterial Biofilms on End-Organ Disease and Mortality in Patients with Hematologic Malignancies Developing a Bloodstream Infection

The Impact of Bacterial Biofilms on End-Organ Disease and Mortality in Patients with Hematologic Malignancies Developing a Bloodstream Infection

ABSTRACT Bacterial bloodstream infection (BSI) represents a significant complication in hematologic patients. However, factors leading to BSI and progression to end-organ disease and death are understood only partially. The study analyzes host and microbial risk factors and assesses their impact on...
