However, many clinicians appreciate that an infection due to a microorganism carried by the patient on admission to the ICU and that develops 48?h of ICU stay cannot be considered as be

Gut Microbiology: Surveillance Samples for Detecting the Abnormal Carrier State in Overgrowth microbiological approach of culturing diagnostic samples can never detect overgrowth, as these samples only confirm the clinical diagnosis of infection. Surveillance samples of throat and gut are the only samples that allow overgrowth detection. Gut overgrowth harms the critically ill in four ways:

Outbreaks of Infection in the ICU: What’s up at the Beginning of the Twenty-First Century? are the two known to cause outbreaks. Secondary endogenous infections can be controlled by enterally administered antimicrobials and should be integrated into the routine infection control measures. Exogenous infections can be controlled by topically applied antimicrobials and hygiene.
