Abstract:
Background Nosocomial infections are a particular threat for patients with liver cirrhosis. It is not uncommon that individuals develop even several consecutive infections during a single hospital stay. We aimed to investigate the impact and characteristics of multiple, consecutive nosocomial infections. Methods A total of 514 consecutive patients with liver cirrhosis and ascites were included and followed up for 28 days for nosocomial infection, death or liver transplantation (LTx). Laboratory values were assessed at the time of hospitalization as well as at the onset of each new infectious episode. Results 58% ( n = 298) of the patients developed at least one nosocomial infection and in 23% ( n = 119) even multiple infections were documented during a single hospital stay. Consecutive infections usually occurred shortly after the previous episode. Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) was the most common infection. However, the proportion of SBP declined from 43% at the first to only 31% at the third nosocomial infection ( p = 0.096). In contrast, the likelihood for other, less common types of infection such as blood stream infections increased. Third nosocomial infections were also more likely to be linked to the detection of fungal pathogens (21% vs. 52%; p = 0.001). Each additional infectious episode had a dramatic detrimental impact on LTx-free survival that was independent from the stage of liver disease (adjusted-HR: 6.76, p = 0.002 for first nosocomial infection; adjusted-HR: 14.69, p<0.001 for second nosocomial infection; adjusted-HR: 24.95, p<0.001 for third nosocomial infection). Conclusion In patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis LTx-free survival significantly decreases with every consecutive infectious episode. Development of prevention strategies is urgently required.

Abstract:
Due to current increase in the rate of nosocomial infections, our objective was to examine the frequency, risk factors, clinical presentation and etiology of nosocomial infections in patients with central nervous system infections. 2246 patients with central nervous system infections, treated in the intensive care units of the Institute of Infectious and Tropical Diseases, Clinical Center of Serbia in Belgrade and at the Department of Infectious Diseases of the Clinical Hospital Center Kragujevac, were included in this retrospective and prospective study. Clinical manifestations of nosocomial infections were registered in 180 (12.7%) patients. Direct risk factors for nosocomial infections were: venous lines, urinary catheter, length of stay over 20 days, inhibitors of gastric secretion, consciousness disorders and coma, endotracheal intubation, tracheotomy and controlled ventilation for 5 days or more. The most frequent clinical presentations of nosocomial infections were: tract urinary infections, bacteriemia/sepsis and nosocomial pneumonia. Significantly higher frequency of death outcomes was registered in patients with nosocomial infections.

Abstract:
AbstractObjective:To investigate how many nosocomial infections would be missed if surveillance activities were restricted to patients having either microbiology reports or antibiotic administration.Design:Analysis of data from a large prevalence study on nosocomial infections (Nosocomial Infections in Germany— Surveillance and Prevention).Setting:A total of 14,966 patients were investigated in medical, surgical, obstetric-gynecologic, and intensive-care units of 72 German hospitals representatively selected according to size. Five hundred eighteen patients (3.5%) had at least one nosocomial infection. Microbiology reports were available for 56.6% of these patients on the prevalence day, and 86.3% received antibiotics.Results:Only 31 nosocomially infected patients (6%) would have been missed by using either microbiology reports or antibiotic treatment as an indicator. These indicators of nosocomial infections had a high diagnostic sensitivity for nosocomial pneumonia (98.8%), urinary tract infections (96.3%), and primary bloodstream infections (95.3%), but a lower sensitivity for wound infections (85.4%). Thus, 97.4% of all nosocomial infections were found with this method in intensive-care units and 96.1% in medicine units, but only 89.7% in surgical departments. In 9 (12.5%) of 72 hospitals, the overall sensitivity would have been &lt;80% using a combination of the two indicators. For this reason, the situation in one's own hospital should be checked before using this method.Conclusions:After checking the situation in one's own hospital, the “either-or” approach using the two indicators “microbiology report” and “antibiotic administration” can be recommended as a time-saving measure to diagnose pneumonia, urinary tract, and primary bloodstream infections. For wound infections, additional information obtained by changing dressings or participating in ward rounds is necessary to achieve satisfactory sensitivity in the surveillance of nosocomial infections. Of course, it is necessary that the surveillance staff discard all false positives to ensure a satisfactory specificity.

Abstract:
Les conséquences des épidémies de grippe nosocomiale (GN) pour les patients en termes de morbidité et mortalité sont importantes. Cependant, la présentation clinique des cas, la fréquence de l’infection, le risque d’infection parmi les patients, la transmission et les mesures de contrôle les plus adaptées restent mal connues. Une analyse originale de la littérature nous a permis de synthétiser les connaissances sur la GN. Puis sur la base d’une étude prospective menée pendant 3 saisons de grippe de 2004 à 2007, nous avons présenté une description clinique des cas de grippe observés à l’hôpital Edouard Herriot de Lyon. Nous avons ensuite développé un modèle statistique d’analyse du risque de GN chez les patients et nous avons appliqué ce modèle sur des données concernant plus de 21500 patients. Les facteurs influençant la transmission ont été étudiés par simulation de la diffusion du virus grippal dans une unité de soin à l’aide d’un modèle biomathématique. Nous montrons qu’il était difficile d’identifier les cas de grippe dans l’hôpital sans réalisation systématique d’un test de dépistage. Le risque pour le patient de présenter un syndrome grippal était 2 fois plus important à l’hôpital que dans la communauté. De plus ce risque était 5 à 35 fois plus élevé lorsqu’un patient était exposé à un autre patient ou à un soignant contagieux au cours de son séjour. La transmission de patient à patient semblait une voie de transmission importante. La démarche de ce travail pourrait être adaptée et l’outil statistique étendu à l’étude de la dynamique et du contrôle des infections nosocomiales
The 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

Abstract:
Acinetobacter baumannii est un pathogène nosocomial qui induit principalement des infections du système respiratoire ou urinaire, et des septicémies chez les patients immunodéprimés. L'émergence de souches multi résistantes aux antibiotiques et l'augmentation de nombreuses d'infections par A. baumannii fait de ce pathogène un enjeu majeur de santé publique. De plus aujourd'hui émerge des souches hypervirulentes. Nous nous sommes intéressés à différentes souches afin de caractériser le phénotype hypervirulent de ces souches. L'étude du système de sécrétion de type VI montre la complexité des mécanismes de virulence d'A. baumannii et sa régulation dépendante des souches. Dans un second temps l'étude des souches cliniques hypervirulentes et nous avons mis en évidence deux nouveaux potentiels mécanismes de virulence : une phase de réplication intracellulaire et une limitation de la réponse immunitaire. Ces mécanismes peuvent expliquer la virulence accrue de ces souches chez l'homme. L'étude nous montre également qu'A. baumannii est un pathogène complexe et qu'on son étude à l'heure actuelle nécessité l'emploi de souche représentative des souches infectant les patients
A. 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

Abstract:
En réanimation,le taux de patients présentant une infection nosocomiale atteint les 15%.Parmi les méthodes de prévention, la lutte contre le portage de germes au niveau cutané et la prévention de la transmission croisée par le lavage des mains du personnel sont des méthodes efficaces.La désinfection de la peau à la Chlorhexidine est une stratégie d’intérêt croissant pour les patients en réanimation.Cette stratégie nécessite encore des essais explorant la sécurité,le rapport coût-efficacité et l'impact de l'utilisation systématique de lingettes.La compliance à l’hygiène des mains (HH) reste une limite à la prévention des infections.Nous avons réalisé une étude pédagogique par simulation et l'utilisation des cabinets UV améliore la technique et la conformité aux opportunités en HH.Concernant la prévention des infections pulmonaires, la colonisation bactérienne trachéobronchique précède souvent l’apparition de la pneumopathie acquises sous ventilation mécanique (PAV),et il a été postulé que les microbes présents dans les sécrétions trachéales quelques jours avant la PAV pourraient être identiques à ceux retrouvés dans les voies respiratoires inférieures.La réalisation d’aspirations trachéales (ETA) régulières serait une méthode préventive.Nous avons réalisé une mise au point des études publiées pour déterminer les forces et les faiblesses de la gestion des antibiotiques sur la base des cultures de surveillance ETA dans la PAV.Ainsi,l’ETA pourrait être systématiquement réalisée pour prédire de manière fiable les micro-organismes de la PVA.Cependant, nous ne pouvons recommander le recours généralisé à la surveillance de routine de la flore trachéobronchique
In 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

Abstract:
Esta tesis doctoral se centra en el desarrollo de un nuevo biosensor óptico como una técnica alternativa para la identificación de infecciones nosocomiales con el fin de determinar el tratamiento más eficaz y reducir el uso inespecífico de fármacos antimicrobianos de amplio espectro. Proponemos el uso de un nuevo sensor nanofótonico basado en un dispositivo interferométrico, el biosensor de guías de onda bimodales (BiMW) para un análisis rápido, específico, directo y altamente sensible de los diferentes patógenos asociados a infecciones nosocomiales y su resistencia a múltiples fármacos. En primer lugar, se evaluaron y optimizaron diferentes estrategias de biofuncionalización para conseguir una inmovilización eficiente de los elementos de bioreconocimiento que aseguran una detección bacteriana altamente sensible con suficiente selectividad y reproducibilidad, particularmente para la detección directa en matrices complejas tales como orina y líquido ascítico. Posteriormente, las estrategias optimizadas se utilizaron para la identificación de diversos patógenos nosocomiales como Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli y Pseudomonas aeruginosa utilizando anticuerpos como elementos de bioreconocimiento. La detección de Escherichia coli se realizó en una matriz compleja como es el líquido ascítico humano. Finalmente, el biosensor BiMW se empleó para identificar bacterias resistentes a múltiples fármacos como: i) la identificación de Staphylococcus aureus resistente a meticilina (MRSA) usando un aptámero, que es capaz de discriminar entre un Staphylococcus susceptible a antibióticos y un Staphylococcus multirresistente y (ii) la detección ultra sensible de genes de E. coli resistentes a múltiples fármacos, sin la necesidad de una previa amplificación por PCR. En general, esta tesis aprovecha los conocimientos en biosensores fotónicos y en métodos bioanalíticos de nuestro Grupo de investigación para desarrollar una poderosa herramienta que permita la identificación directa y efectiva de patógenos nosocomiales y su resistencia a antibióticos.
This doctoral Thesis is focusing on the development of a novel optical biosensor as an alternative technique for the identification of nosocomial infections in a faster way. This new tool will also facilitate the finding of the most effective treatment for each patient, reduce the nonspecific use of broad-spectrum antimicrobial drugs, and facilitate new antibiotic treatments. We propose the use of a novel nanophotonic sensor based on an interferometric transducer device, the Bimodal Waveguide device (BiMW) for the rapid, specific, highly sensitive and direct analysis of different pathogens associated to nosocomial infections and their multidrug resistant. First, we assessed and optimized different biofunctionalization strategies for an efficient immobilization of the required biorecognition receptors, which ensure a highly sensitive bacterial detection with enough selectivity and reproducibility, particularly suitable for the direct detection in complex matrices, such as urine and ascitic fluid. The optimized strategies were employed for the identification of various nosocomial pathogens such as Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa using antibodies as biorecognition elements. The detection of Escherichia coli was done in human ascitic fluid. Finally, the BiMW biosensor was employed to identify the multidrug-resistant bacteria such as: i) the identification of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) using a specific aptamer, which is able to discriminate among a susceptible one to antibiotic and a multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus, and (ii) the ultra-sensitive detection of multidrug-resistant E. coli genes without PCR amplification. This Thesis takes advantage of the knowledge in photonics biosensors and bioanalytical methods in our Group in order to develop a powerful tool for the direct and effective identification of nosocomial pathogens and their antibiotic-resistance in a rapid and label-free scheme.

Abstract:
Clostridium difficile est responsable de 15 à 25% des cas de diarrhées post-antibiotiques (ATB) et de plus de 95% des cas de colite pseudomembraneuse. Depuis 2003 et suite à l'émergence du clone 027, les ICD sont devenues plus fréquentes et plus sévères. Compte tenu des conséquences, il a été décidé d'explorer en détail et prospectivement cette maladie au Groupement Hospitalier Edouard Herriot L'inclusion des patients a débuté fin février 2011 et devrait s'arrêter fin février 2014. Dans une méta-analyse, nous avons montré que l'ICD communautaire est associée à l'exposition aux mêmes ATB qu'une ICD nosocomiale. Une analyse de la littérature, en utilisant la grille ORION comme outil, nous a permis de synthétiser les connaissances sur la prévention et le contrôle d'ICD en milieu hospitalier. Par la suite sur la base d'une étude rétrospective, le sexe, la CRP et l'exposition aux fluoroquinolones ont été identifiés comme associés à une ICD sévère chez les patients hospitalisés en réanimation. Entre 2011 et 2013, 430 patients ont été inclus dans notre cohorte. L'analyse des données de la prise en charge thérapeutique de 118 cas d'ICD a montré un niveau insuffisant de la connaissance des recommandations actuelles concernant le traitement de cette infection. L'analyse pronostique a montré un taux de mortalité de 19,5% dans les 30 jours qui suivent le diagnostic. L'ICD était indiquée comme une cause principale ou contributive de décès dans quinze cas (65,7% des décédés). Les analyses multivariées ont montré que les facteurs associés au décès sont différents entre les patients avec une ICD et les patients présentant une diarrhée non liée au Clostridium difficile
Clostridium 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

Abstract:
Nosocomial infections are a cause of concern for hospital patients and the incidence rates of these infections are greater in intensive care units (ICUs) due to the invasive nature of treatments, additional risk factors and comorbidities, and therapies used. Invasive devices, such as vascular central lines, Foley catheters, and mechanical ventilators pose a risk for critically ill patients in the ICUs to develop device-related, healthcare-associated infections (HAI). The purpose of this study was to describe the epidemiological characteristics of patients who developed device-related HAIs within 3 ICU units (medical-surgical, cardiovascular, and neurosurgical) of an academic medical facility. The ecosocial theory of disease distribution provided the theoretical framework for the study to describe how ecological and social determinants interact and affect health variances. Secondary data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), Pearson correlations, and chi-square statistical tests. A total of 4,213 patients admitted to the 3 ICUs from 2010-2014 were identified. According to the chi-square analysis, there was significant association between race/ethnicity and type of device-associated infection; between gender and types of infection; and between risk factors (diabetes, obesity, smoking habits) and kinds of infection, all of which the statistical significance had varied for each individual ICU. Bacterial differences were noted between device-associated infections. The potential positive social change from this study could be insight on possible new processes and interventions to reduce nosocomial infections and improve adult ICU patient outcomes such as decreased HAIs, decreased length of stay, comorbidities, and cost for both the patient and the hospital.

Abstract:
Despite the achievements in the field of asepsis, antiseptics and disinfection, cases of concomitant infectious diseases still occur among those treated in the hospital. These diseases are called "nosocomial", or nosocomial. All the time there is a search for new methods to combat hospital infections, as they can aggravate the path of patients to recovery and in special cases can cause irreparable harm to health and even lead to death. Hospital infections cover both therapeutic and surgical departments, and the ways of infection and the mechanisms of development in the body are diverse. One of these diseases is pseudomembranous ulcerative colitis caused by the microorganism Clostridium Difficile.

Abstract:
Controlling the spread of respiratory infectious diseases in healthcare settings is important to avoid nosocomial infection. We utilized computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation, real-time carbon dioxide (CO2) monitoring, microorganism culturing, and microorganism sequencing to quantitatively assess the exposure risk of healthcare workers to infectious respiratory particles (IRPs) in one lung function room under two ventilation configurations. The original ventilation system supplied 2 air changes per hour (ACH) for fresh air and 2 ACH for recirculated air, while the retrofitted ventilation system supplied 6 ACH of fresh air. Indoor CO2 concentration and microorganism concentration decreased after the retrofit. The ventilation modification significantly improved the discharge efficiency for 5 μm IRPs and 50 μm IRPs. The intake fraction of 5 μm aerosols and 50 μm aerosols for HCW decreased by 0.005% and 0.006%, respectively. This study also reviewed the effectiveness of the above methods when evaluating building retrofit.
