Selected mutli-drug-resistance-organisms in selected Polish long-term-care facilities*

Results Altogether 28.9% of the residents had wheelchair disability or were bedridden, 10.6% disoriented in time and/or space, 49,5% had urinary incontinence and 35,3% fecal incontinence. Prevalence of MDRO was found to be 12.4%. The most common pathogens were MRSA, which consisted 43,2% of all S. aureus isolates (n=94) and ESBL(+) rods, which reached 13,9% out of 165 Enterobacteriaceae isolates. Factors independently (all p<0.05) associated with MDRO were asymptomatic bacteriuria, urinary and/or fecal incontinence, wheelchair disability or bedridden, low value of the Barthel and Katz Indexes and others.
