We hereby describe the clinical and epidemiological features and, outcomes of nine patients with Elizabethkingia meningoseptica infections in two hospitals over a 2-year period.ll infections caused by this pathogen were nosocomial, or healthcare associated infections, in hemodialysis settings whereas none was associated with hospital outbreaks. An increase of uncommon Gram-negative bacilli has occurred in the last decade in the nosocomial environment.
The USDA recommends steaks and roasts be cooked to 145Â°F (medium) and then rested for at least 3 minutes. To ensure food safety, ground beef should be cooked to a minimum 160Â°F (well done). Be sure to check with a thermometer, as color alone is not a foolproof indicator.
Though any temperature under 160Â° F (71Â° C) -- or 165Â° F (74Â° C) for ground poultry -- is not considered safe for ground meat (USDA Guidelines), here is a list of cooking times for varying degrees of doneness for burgers: 1  Rare: 120 to 125. 2  Medium Rare: 130 to 135. 3  Medium Well: 150 to 155. 4  Well Done: 160 to 165.
