Background: Currently, contact precautions are recommended for patients colonized or infected with extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBLPE). Recent studies have challenged this strategy. This study aimed to assess the rate of ESBL-PE faecal carriage among hospitalized patients...
resistant bacteria; NI: Nosocomial infections; NNI: Non nosocomial infections; NP: Nosocomial pneumonia Acknowledgements The authors wish to thank all the individuals and institutions that made this study possible especially the hospital hygiene team presented by Fatima Dmissi and the expert in English ...
However, more studies are needed to better characterized the epidemiology if ESBL in the food chain and the environment in order to consider some interventions in these areas.Hospital Universitario Virgen MacarenaIdsa
Carbapenems were a mainstay in treating these cases and either methods of ESBL detection may be conviently used. However attempts to minimize ESBL spread through hygiene,contact precautions,suitable antibiotic policy to include cheaper and more effective antimicrobials are the need of the hour.Key ...
Project Our aim was to develop a program fo r our hospital that would be standardized to most programs in the province. We began by polling hospitals in different regions compiling practice standards for patients with ESBLs. Of the 10 hospitals polled, 8 initiated contact precautions and had ...
ESBL was successfully eradicated in 73% of non-infected, colonized patients. Overall, eradication of ESBLs was successful in 58% of all evaluable patients. However, more potent DC regimens are likely needed to successfully control ESBL.University Hospital Basel...
Control measures addressing these potential sources were successful in terminating the outbreak. Ongoing surveillance, hand hygiene, strict adherence to contact precautions and adequate environmental cleaning are essential elements to prevent recurrent outbreaks....
Hence, the detection of MDR strains in the present study serves as a crucial warning, highlighting the necessity for implementing specific hygiene precautions. The resistance spectrum of identified bacterial strains, as well as the detected resistance-encoding genes, was found to be similar to those...
