Assessing microbial colonization of peripheral intravascular devices

We read with interest the recent paper by Molina J et al., which discussed mortality and hospital stay related to coagulase-negative staphylococci bacteraemia caused by intravascular devices (IVD) in non-critical patients. The most frequently isolated bacteria on IVD are coagulase-negative staphylococcus, it is, therefore, critical for researcher to assess IVD related infections and develop efficient strategies to prevent IVD-related infections...
