The current review intends to provide a systematic review on the microbiological profile involved in HCAI, to compare it with community-acquired (CAI) and hospital-acquired infections (HAI) and to evaluate the definition accuracy to predict infection by potentially drug resistant pathogens.engHealthcare-associated infectionPneumoniaBacteraemiaUrinary tract infectionEndocarditisIntra-abdominal infectionsMultidrug resistant pathogensjournal article10.1186/s12879-015-1304-2
