| Abstract |
Patients in hospital intensive care units have long been recognized as being at high risk for developing infections from bacteria, fungi, and viruses from within the hospital locality. Risk factors for development of nosocomial infections have usually focussed on the patient's physical condition and the number and type of invasive medical procedures administered. Using the staphylococci as its focus, this chapter presents recent evidence that some of the medications routinely used in the treatment of acutely ill patients may also be a risk factor for the development of nosocomial infections. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 March 2016.
All research outputs
#20,315,221
of 22,856,968 outputs
Outputs from Advances in experimental medicine and biology
#3,970
of 4,950 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#330,662
of 393,628 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Advances in experimental medicine and biology
#334
of 443 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,856,968 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,950 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.1. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 393,628 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 443 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
