Healthcare-associated infections in the neurological intensive care unit: Results of a 6-year surveillance study at a major tertiary care center

Preventive strategies kept rates of infection very low, in particular CAUTI, CLABSI, and Clostridium difficile infections, and inhibited the emergence of resistant organisms.
