Clinical features of liver involvement in adult patients with listeriosis. Review of the literature.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Catheter-associated urinary tract infection is the most common nosocomial infection in clinical settings. For bacteria ascending to the bladder the most common route is the extraluminal, but the intraluminal route also plays a role. For this reason, we compared two urinary closed system bags (CSB), one with ...
