在1970年1月波士顿城市医院的感染和抗生素使用调查中，20%的患者被认为是社区获得性感染，12%的患者被认为是在医院获得的感染。这些患病率与1964年和1967年在这家医院发现的没有太大不同。自1967年以来，金黄色葡萄球菌在医院感染中的流行率没有显著变化。最引人注目的变化是克雷伯氏菌肠杆菌和铜绿假单胞菌的流行，这两种细菌加起来从57%的医院感染中分离出来。在调查期间，三分之一的患者服用了抗菌药；青霉素G和氨苄西林是最常使用的药物。在波士顿城市医院，定期的患病率调查在确定医院感染和抗生素使用方面的问题和趋势方面发挥了非常重要的作用。
In a survey of infections and antibiotic usage at Boston City Hospital in January 1970, 20% of the patients had infections considered to be community-acquired and 12% had infections considered to be acquired in the hospital. These prevalence ratios did not differ greatly from those found at this hospital in 1964 and 1967. There was no significant change since 1967 in the prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus in nosocomial infections. The most striking change noted was in the prevalence of Klebsiella-Enterobacter and Pseudomonas aeruginosa , which together, were isolated from 57% of all nosocomial infections. Antimicrobial agents were being administered to one third of patients at the time of the survey; penicillin G and ampicillin were the ones most frequently used. Periodic prevalence surveys have been invaluable in defining problems and trends in nosocomial infections and antibiotic usage at Boston City Hospital.
