Two hundred thirty three (2.7%) presented with only one nosocomial infection. Mean daily antibiotic cost was $89.64. Daily antibiotic cost was $99.02 for pneumonia, $94.32 for bloodstream infection, $94.31 for surgical site infection, $52.37 for urinary tract infection, and $162.35 for the other infections per patient. The treatment of <jats:italic>Pseudomonas aeruginosa<\/jats:italic> infections was the most expensive infection treated. Piperacillin-tazobactam and amikacin were the most prescribed antibiotics, and meropenem was the most expensive drug for treatment of the nosocomial infections in the ICU.<\/jats:p>\n                     <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                        <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                        <jats:p>Daily antibiotic cost of nosocomial infections is an important part of extra costs that should be reduced providing rational antibiotic usage in hospitals.<\/jats:p>\n                     <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2334-5-5","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,2,1]],"date-time":"2005-02-01T07:25:27Z","timestamp":1107242727000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Daily antibiotic cost of nosocomial infections in a Turkish university hospital"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Dilara","family":"Inan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rabin","family":"Saba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Filiz","family":"Gunseren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gozde","family":"Ongut","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ozge","family":"Turhan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ata Nevzat","family":"Yalcin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Latife","family":"Mamikoglu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,1,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"153_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"552","DOI":"10.2307\/30141291","volume":"17","author":"WR Jarvis","year":"1996","unstructured":"Jarvis WR: Selected aspects of socioeconomic impact of nosocomial infections: morbidity, mortality, cost, and prevention.
