Source text - Spanish Severe sepsis occurs as a result of both community-acquired and health care–associated infections. Pneumonia is the most common cause, accounting for about half of all cases, followed by intraabdominal and urinary tract infections. 7,8,11,12 Blood cultures are typically positive in only one third of cases, and in up to a third of cases, cultures from all sites are negative. 7,11,13,14 Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae are the most common gram-positive isolates, whereas Escherichia coli, klebsiella species, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa predominate among gram-negative isolates.11,14 An epidemiologic study of sepsis showed that during the period from 1979 to 2000, gram-positive infections overtook gram-negative infections.15 However, in a more recent study involving 14,000 ICU patients in 75 countries, gram-negative bacteria were isolated in 62% of patients with severe sepsis who had positive cultures, gram-positive bacteria in 47%, and fungi in 19%.
