چکیده
The Robert Koch Institute published recommendations for multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) screening of refugees on hospital admission already in October 2015 [4]. This document stated that according to the recommendations of the German Commission of Hospital Hygiene and Infection Prevention screening for multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) on hospital admission is necessary for patients coming from regions with high prevalence rates for MDRO, with previous contact to the health system in their country of origin or on route. Furthermore it points out that screening should encompass meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and carbapenem-resistant bacteria, only [5].
