Abstract

Subsequent bacteremia developed in 14 % of patients with positive catheter tip cultures but concurrent negative blood cultures. The occurrence of subsequent bacteremia did not differ significantly by pathogens (Staphylococcus aureus, Gram-negative rods [GNR], and Candida spp.). Mortality was higher in patients with GNR and Candida spp. than with S. aureus.
