B95. 2 - Enterococcus as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere | ICD-10-CM.
Clinically significant bacteremia was defined as the presence of 2 or more blood cultures positive for E faecium, or a single positive blood culture coupled with a clinically evident, or culture-positive, other site of infection. 3. Clinical data collection.
What's the diagnosis in ICD-10? Bacteremia – Code R78. 81 (Bacteremia).

Enterococcus faecalis can be distinguished from Enterococcus faecium via differential susceptibility to antibiotics and growth and fermentation characteristics on mannitol salt agar.
Enterococcus faecalis is a Gram-positive pathogen which can cause uncomplicated urinary tract and wound infections but also complicated and severe infections like IE (Dahl et al., 2019; Rosselli Del Turco et al., 2021).
If a patient is admitted because of bacteremia, it should be the principal diagnosis even though bacteremia is a symptom code, because it is the condition that occasioned the admission.
Clinically, the physician may not be differentiating the diagnoses as two different things, even though coding does. Now, bacteremia is the principal diagnosis, it won't change your DRG, though it could certainly affect quality concerns and medical necessity.
Bacteremia is the presence of bacteria in the blood, hence a microbiological finding. Sepsis is a clinical diagnosis needing further specification regarding focus of infection and etiologic pathogen, whereupon clinicians, epidemiologists and microbiologists apply different definitions and terminology.
ICD-10 code: U80. 30 Enterococcus faecium with resistance to glycopeptide antibiotics.
Enterobacter species are members of the ESKAPE group (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter species), which are described as the leading cause of resistant nosocomial infections (7, 10, 11, 13,–20).
Definitions. Enterobacter bacteremia was defined as a finding of Enterobacter species in a blood culture specimen. Clinically significant bacteremia was defined as ⩾1 positive blood culture result, together with clinical features compatible with systemic inflammatory response syndrome.
E. faecalis infections spread from person to person through poor hygiene. Because these bacteria are found in feces, people can transmit the infection if they don't wash their hands after using the bathroom. The bacteria can get into food or onto surfaces such as doorknobs, telephones, and computer keyboards.
faecium may be pathogenic and harmful to humans, and can cause bacteraemia, endocarditis, urinary tract and other infections. Moreover, anti-microbial resistance (AMR) to many commonly used antibiotics has been reported, and E. faecium is the leading cause of multi-drug resistant enterococcal infections in humans.
Enterococci cause many serious and life-threatening infections, including bloodstream infections. Enterococcal infections are often treated with a combination of an aminoglycoside (e.g., gentamicin) and a cell wall-active agent, such as penicillin (e.g., ampicillin) or a glycopeptide (vancomycin or teicoplanin).
Enterococcus bacteria are typically present in the gut and bowel, but they can also live in the mouth and vaginal tract. At least 58 species of Enteroccoci bacteria exist, but two types tend to infect humans: E. faecalis and E. faecium.
The presence of viable bacteria circulating in the blood. Fever, chills, tachycardia, and tachypnea are common acute manifestations of bacteremia. The majority of cases are seen in already hospitalized patients, most of whom have underlying diseases or procedures which render their bloodstreams susceptible to invasion.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM R78.81 became effective on October 1, 2021.
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes. It means "not coded here". A type 1 excludes note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as R78.81. A type 1 excludes note is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM B95.4 became effective on October 1, 2021.
B95 Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and Enterococcus as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere. B95.0 Streptococcus, group A, as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere. B95.1 Streptococcus, group B, as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere. B95.2 Enterococcus as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere.
Sepsis is a whole-body inflammatory response to an infection. Common signs and symptoms include fever, increased heart rate, increased breathing rate, and confusion. There may also be symptoms related to a specific infection, such as a cough with pneumonia, or painful urination with a kidney infection.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code A41.81 and a single ICD9 code, 995.91 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
