Reporting of a surveillance system of multidrug-resistant organisms in an Italian hospital
Methods Since January 2009, daily, Hospital Hygiene Service personnel collects MDROs microbiological data. Data are automatically entered in a software, continuously updated.Only the first MDRO isolate recovered from a patient is considered. The monthly report includes: newly recovered MDRO isolates; incidence rate of MDRO infection/colonization (No. of first MDRO isolates per patient for each ...
متن کاملNetwork of microbial and antibiotic interactions drive colonization and infection with multidrug-resistant organisms.
The emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) across global healthcare networks poses a serious threat to hospitalized individuals. Strategies to limit the emergence and spread of MDROs include oversight to decrease selective pressure for MDROs by promoting appropriate antibiotic use via antibiotic stewardship programs. However, restricting the use of one antibiotic often re...
متن کاملEfficacy of Infection Control Interventions in Reducing the Spread of Multidrug-Resistant Organisms in the Hospital Setting
Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) continue to spread in hospitals globally, but the population-level impact of recommended preventive strategies and the relative benefit of individual strategies targeting all MDRO in the hospital setting are unclear. To explore the dynamics of MDRO transmission in the hospital, we develop a model extending data from clinical individual-level studies to quant...

Mrs. A’s father was hospitalized multiple times over several months. During that time he developed a multi-drug resistant organism (MDRO) infection. Upon transfer to an acute care facility, the MDRO information was inadvertently omitted from the Continuity of Care Form, required of all discharging facilities in Rhode Island. When Mrs. A noted that the healthcare workers in this new facility wer...

Prescribing systemic antibiotics without susceptibility testing has significant shortcomings, especially in long term care facilities with high rates of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Tissue biopsy or aspiration sampling of infected tissue is the "gold standard" for culture of skin and soft tissue infection and is especially importan...
