Most common types of hospital-acquired infections are central-line associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) which often lead to Staph infection, Catheter-associated Urinary tract infections (CAUTI) which often lead to E. coli infection, Surgical Site Infection which often leads to Staph or Strep and Ventilator-associated pneumonia which leads to Strep pneumo, H. influenzae, Staph, etc. infections
Intra-abdominal abscess would most commonly lead to anaerobic, gram-negative infection and while operative wound could lead to Staph or Strep infection you would expect the colostomy to be erythematous, purulent, etc.
I think I thought too deep into this, but isn't the cause of post-op fever on days 3-5 UTIs? I just remembered the mnemonic, but I guess I was thinking too deep..
