Risk factors for colonization and infection by multiresistant bacteria
Methods A prospective study from March 17, 2014 to January 31, 2015. All patients admitted to a polyvalent ICU of a general hospital were submitted to the checklist proposed, with the application of contact precaution (CP) strategies for patients with risk factors (RF) for colonization or infection by MRB. Bacteriologic swabs (nasal, pharyngeal, axillary and rectal) were routinely performed on ...
متن کاملClinical problems posed by multiresistant nonfermenting gram-negative pathogens.
In this review I will briefly survey the role of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumanii, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, and Burkholderia cepacia as opportunistic pathogens. A common feature of these organisms is intrinsic resistance to multiple antibiotics. All of these organisms can be recovered from the environment, commonly cause device-related infections, are often resistant to disin...
متن کاملThe Susceptibility Evaluation of Multiresistant Gram-Negative Bacilli to Meropenem and Imipenem
Introduction: Nosocomial infections are responsible for the much of the morbidity and mortality found in hospitals. The present study was conducted on 70 bacterial strains isolated from hospitalized patients in various medical units of Baqiyatallah Hospital in Tehran, Iran during a period of 12 months from; March to February 2009. Methods: The bacterial s...
متن کاملPressure ulcer as a reservoir of multiresistant Gram-negative bacilli: risk factors for colonization and development of bacteremia.
The purpose of this study was to identify the risk factors that predispose patients who are hospitalized with pressure ulcers (PUs) colonized by Gram-negative bacilli (GNB) to develop bacteremia. In addition, we also detected main phenotypes of resistance in infected and uninfected PUs. A prospective cohort study was conducted at the Clinical Hospital of the Federal University of Uberlândia inc...
متن کاملAssociation between contaminated faucets and colonization or infection by nonfermenting gram-negative bacteria in intensive care units in Taiwan.
This study was designed to determine the strength of the association between the isolation of nonfermentative gram-negative bacilli (NFGNB) from tap water faucet aerators and the prevalence of colonization or infection of patients in intensive care units (ICUs). Surveillance cultures were obtained during a 4-month period from 162 faucet aerators located in seven different ICUs. The prevalence o...
