ICD-10 code: U80. 30 Enterococcus faecium with resistance to glycopeptide antibiotics.
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.
Enterococcus faecalis is a gram-positive bacterium that can cause a variety of nosocomial infections of which urinary tract infections are the most common. These infections can be exceptionally difficult to treat because of drug resistance of many E. faecalis isolates.
ICD-10 code R78. 81 for Bacteremia is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .

faecium. Isolates of E. faecalis are typically susceptible to ampicillin but resistant to quinupristin-dalfopristin, whereas most E. faecium isolates are resistant to ampicillin (minimum inhibitory concentration ≥16 mcg/mL) but susceptible to quinupristin-dalfopristin.
Sources of enterococcal bacteremia include the urinary tract, intra-abdominal foci, wounds, and intravascular catheters, especially catheters in femoral locations. Community-acquired enterococcal bacteremia is more commonly associated with endocarditis (up to 36% of cases) than nosocomial bacteremia (0.8%).
Results indicated that enterococci might be a more stable indicator than E. coli and fecal coliform and, consequently, a more conservative indicator under brackish water conditions.
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).
What's the diagnosis in ICD-9? Bacteremia – Code 790.7 (Bacteremia); use an additional code to identify causative organism (041. x, Bacterial infection in conditions classified elsewhere and of unspecified site). Septicemia – Choose a code from 038.
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.
ICD-10-CM Code for Escherichia coli [E. coli ] as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere B96. 2.

Cook meat well, wash fruits and vegetables before eating or cooking them, and avoid unpasteurized milk and juices. You can also get the infection by swallowing water in a swimming pool contaminated with human waste .most cases of e. Coli infection get better without treatment in 5 to 10 days.

If the patient is admitted with a localized infection and the patient does not develop sepsis or severe sepsis until after the admission, the localized infection is coded first, followed by the appropriate codes for sepsis or severe sepsis, if applicable .
When SIRS is due to a noninfectious process, code first the noninfectious process, followed by the code for SIRS. If organ dysfunction is documented, code also R65.11 and the code (s) for the specific organ dysfunction.
For instance, if sepsis, pneumonia, and acute renal failure due to dehydration are documented, the code for severe sepsis may not be assigned because the acute renal failure is not stated as due to or associated with sepsis. If the documentation is unclear, query the physician.
Localized Infection. Almost any type of infection can lead to sepsis. Infections that lead to sepsis most often start in the lung, urinary tract, skin, or gastrointestinal tract. When localized infections are contained, they tend to be self-limiting and resolve with antibiotics.
Documentation issues: A patient with a localized infection usually presents with tachycardia, leukocytosis, tachypnea, and/or fever. These are typical symptoms of any infection. It is up to the clinical judgment of the physician to decide whether the patient has sepsis.
A systemic infection can occur as a complication of a procedure or due to a device, implant, or graft. This includes systemic infections due to postoperative wound infections, infusions, transfusions, therapeutic injections, implanted devices, and transplants.
Sepsis, systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), and septicemia have historically been difficult to code. Changing terminology, evolving definitions, and guideline updates over the past 20 years have created confusion with coding sepsis.
