RATIONALE Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the most frequently occurring nosocomial infection associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Although oral decontamination with antibiotics reduces incidences of VAP, it is not recommended because of potential selection of antibiotic-resistant pathogens. We hypothesized that oral decontamination with either chlorhexidine (CHX, 2%) or C...
To assess the prevalence and risk factors for colonization with Staphylococcus aureus in inmates entering two maximum-security prisons in New York State, USA, inmates (N=830) were interviewed and anterior nares and oropharyngeal samples collected. Isolates were characterized using spa typing. Overall, 50·5% of women and 58·3% of men were colonized with S. aureus and 10·6% of women and 5·9% of m...
BACKGROUND: An estimated 150,000 to 300,000 cases of nosocomial pneumonia occur each year in US hospitals. The primary risk factor for nosocomial bacterial pneumonia is mechanical ventilation using an endotracheal tube. Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) outcomes can be severe with mortality reaching 87%. VAP also extends length of stay by an average of 6 days and can cost >$40,000 per event...
This is the first report on the isolation of Klebsiella planticola from neonates. Over a period of 1 year, oropharyngeal and rectal swab specimens from 131 newborns on a neonatal ward were monitored for Klebsiella spp. Thirteen strains of K. planticola could be isolated, and these represented 9% of all Klebsiella spp. found. Capsule type K27 predominated, followed by capsule type K68. Our findi...
A PCR for protein D (hpd#3) was used to differentiate nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHI) from Haemophilus haemolyticus. While 90% of nasopharyngeal specimens and 100% of lower-airway specimens from 84 Indigenous Australian children with bronchiectasis had phenotypic NTHI isolates confirmed as H. influenzae, only 39% of oropharyngeal specimens with phenotypic NTHI had H. influenzae. The n...
Colonization of the lower respiratory tract by enteric Gram-negative bacilli (EGNB) has been a frequent finding in patients with long-term tracheostomies; however, the association of hospitalization and certain features of serious illness with this phenomenon has not been clearly established. Because such factors can render the oropharynx more susceptible to EGNB colonization, we sought to disc...
We studied the influences of antimicrobial agents on the colonization of the respiratory tract and infection with Enterococcus faecalis in intensive care unit (ICU) patients receiving mechanical respiration for at least 3 days. In a matched-cohort analysis, patients receiving topical antimicrobial prophylaxis (TAP) of the oropharynx and stomach with antimicrobial agents not treating E. faecalis...
