2024年4月12日 · The Containment Strategy Guidelines that address novel and targeted MDROs, such as Candida auris and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales, Pseudomonas spp., and Acinetobacter are available on the Healthcare-Associated Infection (HAI) website.

2024年4月12日 · Preventing infections will reduce the burden of MDROs in healthcare settings. Prevention of antimicrobial resistance depends on appropriate clinical practices that should be incorporated into all routine patient care.

2024年4月12日 · MDRO Definition. For epidemiologic purposes, MDROs are defined as microorganisms, predominantly bacteria, that are resistant to one or more classes of antimicrobial agents (1). Although the names of certain MDROs describe resistance to only one agent (e.g., MRSA, VRE), these pathogens are frequently resistant to most available antimicrobial agents.

The Massachusetts multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) toolkit is designed to aid healthcare providers involved in the prevention, detection, and containment of MDROs across the continuum of healthcare. This group includes physicians, epidemiologists, infection preventionists, directors of

2022年1月15日 · Infection prevention and control (IPC) provides an alternative and practical solution to reduce MDRO colonization and prevent harm caused by MDRO infections. This approach comprises two types of interventions: horizontal and vertical.

prevent and control MDRO transmission. • Identify experts who can provide consultation in analyzing epidemiologic data, recognizing MDRO problems, or devising effective control strategies. • Implement systems to communicate information about targeted MDROs to administrative personnel and to state and local health authorities.

2009年10月15日 · Antibiotic stewardship is a key component of MDRO control and prevention, and includes the following elements: effective antimicrobial treatment of infections; use of narrow spectrum agents; treatment of infections and not contaminants; avoiding excessive duration of therapy; and restricting use of broad-spectrum or more potent antimicrobials ...

The Washington State Department of Health supports and guides prevention and response efforts for certain uncommon MDROs to protect patients and prevent spread. This toolkit provides organism-specific guidance and educational resources for Washington healthcare providers, healthcare facilities, and local health jurisdictions (LHJs) to prevent ...

This set of guidelines offers recommendations to help all health care providers prevent infections due to multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs). It categorizes the recommendations by type, including:

Control is generally defined as two consecutive point prevalence surveys with no new MDRO cases identified, or, in facilities with high colonization pressure (i.e., >30%), substantially decreased transmission.
