Molecular Comparison of Bacterial Communities on Peripheral Intravenous Catheters and Matched Skin Swabs

Skin bacteria at peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) insertion sites pose a serious risk of microbial migration and subsequent colonisation of PIVCs, and the development of catheter related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs). Common skin bacteria are often associated with CRBSIs, therefore the bacte...
