We aimed to investigate changes in the epidemiology of bloodstream infections in Switzerland between 2008 and 2014.MethodsData on bloodstream infections were obtained from the Swiss antibiotic resistance surveillance system (ANRESIS).ResultsThe incidence of bloodstream infections increased throughout the study period, especially among elderly patients and those receiving care in emergency departments and university hospitals.Escherichia coliwas the predominant pathogen, withEnterococciexhibiting the most prominent increase over the study period.ConclusionsThe described trends may impact morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs associated with bloodstream infections.
