Full textA. baumannii is an hospital acquired pathogen which causes mainly ventilator associated infection, urinary tract infection and bacteraemia. Last years Multi Drug Resistant strains increase and nosocomial infection cause by A. baumannii also which led him as a serious health care problem. We compare different strains in propose to find phenotype that can explain hypervirulent strain emergence. We studied type six secretion and showed that the complexity of A. baumannii virulence mechanism. Indeed type six secretion system regulation is strain dependant. Secondary we study hypervirulent strain and showed that intracellular stage exists and there is intracellular replication. Also hypervirulent strain induces less immune response. Those two mechanisms can explain A. baumannii hypervirulent phenotype

Full textThe consequences of outbreaks of nosocomial influenza (NI) for patients in terms of morbidity and mortality are an issue of concerned. However, clinical presentation of cases, frequency of infection, risk of infection among patients, transmission and the most adapted control measures remain poorly understood. An original analysis of the literature allowed synthesizing the knowledge on NI. Then on the basis of a prospective study conducted during 3 influenza seasons from 2004 to 2007, we report a description of clinical cases of NI observed at the Edouard Herriot hospital in Lyon. Then, we developed a statistical model to analyze the risk of NI among patients and we apply this model on data from over 21,500 patients. Factors influencing the transmission were studied by simulating the spread of influenza virus in a hospital unit using a mathematical model. We show that identifying cases of influenza in the hospital without a systematic virological screening is difficult. The risk for the patient to present influenza like illness was 2 times higher in hospital than in the community. Furthermore, the risk was 5 to 35 times higher when a patient was exposed to other contagious patients or health care workers during his hospitalization. Transmission from patient to patient seemed to be a major route of transmission. The approach used in this work could be adapted and the statistical tools could be extended to study of the dynamics and control of nosocomial infections

Full textClostridium difficile is responsible for almost all cases of pseudomembranous colitis and for 15%-25% of cases of post-antibiotic (ATB) diarrhea. Since 2003 and the emergence of 027 strain, CDI epidemiology is changing, with evidence of rising incidence and severity. In response to the alarming situation we decided to conduct a prospective study at Eduard Herriot Hospital to explore in details this infection. Patient’s inclusion has started in February 2011 and will end in February 2014. In a meta-analysis we found that the risk profiles for antimicrobial classes as risk factors for community-acquired CDI are similar to those described for nosocomial CDI. We used the ORION statement (Outbreak Reports and Intervention Studies Of Nosocomial infection) to synthesize knowledge of interventions to reduce and to control CDI in hospitals. Then in a retrospective study, we found that male gender, rising serum C-reactive protein level, and previous exposure to fluoroquinolones were independently associated with severe CDI in ICU. Between 2011 and 2013, 430 patients were included in our prospective cohort study. Data analysis of 118 cases of CDI showed an inefficient knowledge of current recommendations of CDI treatment. The crude mortality rate within 30 days after CDI diagnosis was 19.5%, with 15 deaths (65.7% of deceased patients) related to CDI. In a multivariate cox regression model, gender, serum albumin, antidiarrheal medications, cephalosporins, peritonitis and septic shock were independently associated with mortality in CDI patients. When diarrhea was not related to C. difficile, mortality was rather associated with cancer and high WBC level

Full textIn intensive care, the rate of patients with a nosocomial infection reaches 15%.Prevention is a central element in reducing their incidence. Among the methods of prevention, the fight against the carriage of germs at the cutaneous level and the prevention of cross-transmission by the washing of the hands of the personnel are effective methods.Disinfection of the skin with Chlorhexidine is one of the strategie of increasing interest for patients in intensive care.This strategy still requires trials exploring safety, cost-effectiveness and the impact of routine use of wipes.Compliance with hand hygien(HH)remains a limit to infection prevention.We carried out an educational study by simulation in HH and the use of UV cabinets improves technique and compliance with HH opportunities.Concerning the prevention of pulmonary infections, the tracheobronchial bacterial colonization often precedes the occurrence of VAP,and it has been postulated that the microbes present in the tracheal secretions a few days before VAP might be the same as those retrieved in the lower respiratory tract.The realization of regular tracheal aspirations(ETA)would be a preventive method.We have realized this review in the aim to provide an updated overview of the literature available in the field and to attempt to determine the strengths and weaknesses of antibiotic stewardship based on ETA surveillance cultures in VAP.ETA could be routinely performed to reliably predict the microorganisms of VAP.However we can't recommandthe widespread use of routine surveillance of tracheobronchial flora
