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.
(approximately 145 degree core temperature) Medium-well: A medium-well piece of meat will just have a slight hint of pink in the middle. Otherwise, it will be primarily cooked through and will feel quite firm. (approximately 155 degree core temperature) Well-done: A well-done steak should show no hint of pink whatsoever.
