Secular trends in ESBL, MRSA and VRE incidence in German intensive care units

چکیده
Methods A surveillance module for multidrug resistant bacteria (MDR-KISS) was added to ICU-KISS in 2006. Participating ICUs report data on patients with MRSA, VRE and ESBL bacteria. In contrast to ICU-KISS on nosocomial infections, MDR-KISS documents cases of MDR bacteria including colonization and infection present on admission. MDR-KISS collects the following data: date of ICU-admission and ICU-discharge, type of MDR-bacteria and date of first detection, presence of MDR-bacteria on admission or acquisition during the ICU-stay. Incidence of these bacteria was calculated per 100 patients and density per 1000 patient-days.

INTRODUCTION The objective of the present study was to analyse secular trends in antibiotic consumption and resistance data from a network of 53 intensive care units (ICUs). METHODS The study involved prospective unit and laboratory-based surveillance in 53 German ICUs from 2001 through 2008. Data were calculated on the basis of proportions of nonduplicate resistant isolates, resistance densi...

Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) and in particular multidrug-resistant Gram-negative organisms (MRGN) are an increasing problem in hospital care. However, data on the current prevalence of MDRO in long-term care facilities (LTCFs) are rare. To assess carriage rates of MDRO in LTCF residents in the German Rhine-Main region, we performed a point prevalence survey in 2013. Swabs from nose, thr...
