Dhillon R et al. - The causative organisms are often different to those causing disease in the community, or even for the rest of the hospital.

In addition, the emergence of multi-drug resistant organisms further complicates treating such patients as they tend to be more susceptible to infections with less physiological reserve and therapeutic options are frequently reduced.
