News from Nicaragua

We talked earlier today with Noel Olivas Marlin, who works as a lab technician in Nicaragua. He is responsible for identifying bacteria in a hospital in Ocotal. He provided us with a list of the most common bacteria involved in nosocomial infections. He elaborated by saying that infections are usually developed in immunocompromised patients, specially newborns 0-7 days.

Enterobacterias. Hafnia alvei, Serratia spp.Klebsiella neumoniae Escherichia spp Pantoea agglomerans, Enterobacter cloacae
