A 2014 study revealed that<unk>  is an emerging bacterial pathogen for hospital environments, with its incidence in intensive care units rising since 2004. About 5-10 cases of<unk>  are reported per state in the United States every year. A recent study showed that incidence rates for<unk>  increased by 432.1% for 2016–2017 over the incidence for 2009–2015. It possesses genes conferring antibiotic resistance and virulence. Combined with a lack of effective therapeutic regimens, this leads to high mortality rates. Due to the growing incidence rates, lack of treatments, and high mortality rate, intensive prevention of contamination is necessary. One of the more significant risk factors for<unk>  is whether mechanical ventilation was used with the patient. Because it can form a biofilm in moist environments, water or water-related equipment can also aid in the transfer of<unk>  in hospital environments. In children Neonatal meningitis is the most common presentation of<unk>  for children. Recent studies suggest that approximately 31% of children that have<unk>  pass away from the infection, with an average life expectancy of 27 days from onset of symptoms. For the children who recover from<unk> , about 48% report typical development and full recovery. 30% indicated an onset of hydrocephalus post-recovery. Many other cases included various onsets post-recovery, including motor deficits, cognitive deficits, ongoing seizures, spasticity, and/or hearing loss.
