Surveillancehttp://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dhqp/pdf/ar/mdroGuideline2006.pdfSurveillancehttp://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dhqp/pdf/ar/mdroGuideline2006.pdf • Routine clinical cultures (antibiograms) • Detect emergence of new MDROs • Facility- or unit- specific summary antimicrobial susceptibility reports • Monitor for changes • MDRO incidence (new isolates per 1000 patient days or per month) • Monitor trends / evaluate impact of prevention • Does not distinguish colonization from infection
Surveillancehttp://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dhqp/pdf/ar/mdroGuideline2006.pdfSurveillancehttp://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dhqp/pdf/ar/mdroGuideline2006.pdf • MDRO infection rates • Requires clinical data • Helpful in defining clinical impact • Molecular typing • Confirm clonal transmission • Evaluate interventions in facility
Active Surveillance Cultureshttp://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dhqp/pdf/ar/mdroGuideline2006.pdf • Prospective identification of colonized persons • Coupled with intervention can reduce transmission • Resource intensive • Methods • MRSA: nares > perirectal and wound • VRE: stool, rectal or perirectal • MDR-GNB: peri-rectal or rectal alone or in combination with oropharyngeal, endotracheal, inguinal, or wound
Ann Intern Med, 2008; 148:409-418. Example – universal surveillance for MRSA in 3 affiliated hospitals
Infection Control StrategiesEvanston Northwestern Healthcare Ann Intern Med, 2008; 148:409-418 • 3 hospitals • 40,000 annual admissions • 450 staff physicians • Contact isolation for MRSA-colonized persons • Private room or cohort • Gowns and gloves for all room entries • Dedicated equipment, e.g., stethoscopes
Infection Control Precautionshttp://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dhqp/pdf/ar/mdroGuideline2006.pdf • Standard precautions • Masks for: • Splash-generating procedures • Patients with open tracheostomies • Circumstances when there is evidence of transmission from heavily colonized sources (e.g., burns) • Contact precautions • All patients with infections or previously identified as colonized • Patients with ability to perform hand hygiene and without draining wounds, diarrhea, uncontrolled secretions: establish ranges of permitted ambulation, socialization and use of common areas based on risk … • Cohorting, in order of preference: • Single patient room • Cohort with patient with same MDRO • Cohort with low-risk patient
Infection Control Precautionshttp://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dhqp/pdf/ar/mdroGuideline2006.pdf • Environmental measures • Increased cleaning of: • Items in close proximity to patient, e.g., bed rails, over-bed tables • Frequently touched surfaces • Monitoring • Decolonization

Case definitionJ Clin Microbiol, 2005; 43:4961-4967. • “Cases were defined as patients who were admitted to the ICU for > 24 h in November 2000 and who were positive for MRKP* by culture of specimens taken between 1 November 2000 and 31 December 2000. • Samples for culture were taken from specific infection sites or for surveillance, and samples from both colonized and infected patient were included.” *resistant to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and aminoglycosides; ESBL positive
