چکیده
During the past two decades, antibiotic resistance among nosocomial pathogens has gone from bad to worse. According to intensive care unit (ICU) data from U.S. hospitals participating in the National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance System of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention during the year 2000, 55% of nosocomial Staphylococcus aureus isolates were resistant to methicillin, 26% of nosocomial enterococcal isolates were resistant to vancomycin, and 35% of nosocomial Enterobacter species isolates were resistant to third-generation cephalosporins. There is also substantial evidence that these organisms are not just confined to the acute care hospital but that they are also being spread and becoming highly prevalent among residents of long-term-care facilities (LTCFs). Despite these disturbing data, there has been no concerted or consistently applied, evidence-based effort within the U.S. healthcare system to prevent the spread of these pathogens among the millions of patients entrusting us with their health and safety as they enter hospitals and LTCFs each year.
