Gagné, Stéphanie. "Étude des mécanismes de virulence du pathogène nosocomial Acinetobacter baumannii". Thesis, Lyon, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018LYSE1045/document.
Pełny tekst źródłaA. 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

Pełny tekst źródłaThe 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

Pełny tekst źródłaClostridium 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

Pełny tekst źródłaIn 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

Pełny tekst źródłaNosocomial infections (NI) are a serious public health problem. Knowledge about the etiology of NI is important for the development of control measures, prevention and treatment. Viruses are important etiologic agent of NI has been studied in populations considered at risk as premature, heart disease, lung disease, and immunosuppressed. Respiratory hospital infection (RHI) generate discomfort to patients, postponing medical interventions, postoperative complications, use more drugs and, in some cases, intensive care, may progress to cure or to death. Viruses are responsible for outbreaks of RHI in wards and intensive care units, with the virus as detected respiratory syncytial virus. In our country there are few data on the impact of RHI caused by respiratory viruses in children. Aims of the study were: identify and describe RHI cases in children and submit nasopharyngeal aspirates collected from January to December 2013 to search for molecular diagnosis 13 respiratory viruses [respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), adenovirus, influenza A and B, parainfluenza virus -1 ,-2 , -3 and -4 , metapneumovirus and human coronavirus OC43 , NL63 , 229E and HKU - 1]. During the study period, 120 samples were included in the study and 65 % were positive for at least one virus. A total of 114 viruses were detected (33 RSV, 32 adenovirus, 14 Parainfluenza -3, 14 influenza A , 12 Parainfluenza -4 , 5 parainfluenza -1 , 3 metapneumovirus and 1 coronavirus OC43). Co-detections occurred in 26 cases: 16 with two viruses and 10 with three viruses. No clinical differences between positive and negative RHI for viruses investigated were observed. Respiratory virus were detected in four of five deaths (5/120 4.16%) associated RHI. The knowledge about the occurrence of viral RHI in association with the period of viruses circulation in the community, as described in the study, allows to develop specific actions steps to prevent and control hospital outbreaks caused by viruses.
As infecÃÃes relacionadas à assistÃncia à saÃde (IRAS) sÃo um sÃrio problema de saÃde pÃblica. O conhecimento sobre a etiologia das IRAS à importante para o desenvolvimento de medidas de controle, prevenÃÃo e tratamento. A importÃncia dos vÃrus na etiologia das IRAS tem sido estudada em populaÃÃes consideradas de risco, como prematuros, cardiopatas, pneumopatas e imunodeprimidos. As infecÃÃes respiratÃrias hospitalares (IRH) geram aos pacientes desconforto, adiamento de intervenÃÃes mÃdicas, complicaÃÃes pÃs-cirÃrgicas, uso adicional de medicamentos e, em alguns casos, cuidados intensivos, podendo cursar para a cura ou para o Ãbito. Os vÃrus sÃo responsÃveis por surtos de IRH em enfermarias e unidades de terapia intensiva, sendo o vÃrus sincicial respiratÃrio o mais detectado. Em nosso paÃs sÃo escassos os dados sobre o impacto das IRH causadas por vÃrus respiratÃrios em pediatria. Os objetivos deste estudo foram: identificar e descrever os casos de IRH em crianÃas e submeter aspirados de nasofaringe coletados no perÃodo de janeiro a dezembro de 2013 ao diagnÃstico molecular para pesquisa de 13 vÃrus respiratÃrios [vÃrus sincicial respiratÃrio (VSR), adenovÃrus, influenza A e B, parainfluenza 1, 2, 3 e 4, metapneumovÃrus e coronavÃrus humanos OC43, NL63, 229E e HKU-1]. Para tanto, as amostras foram extraÃdas para obtenÃÃo do material genÃtico viral e, posteriormente, para os vÃrus de RNA, parte deste produto foi transformada em DNA complementar e depois a amplificado. Para detecÃÃo do adenovÃrus, foram realizados PCR e Nested PCR. No perÃodo de estudo, 120 amostras foram incluÃdas e 65% delas foram positivas para pelo menos um vÃrus. Um total de 114 vÃrus foram detectados (33 VSR; 32 adenovÃrus; 14 parainfluenza-3; 14 influenza A; 12 parainfluenza-4; 5 parainfluenza-1; 3 metapneumovÃrus e 1 coronavÃrus OC43). Co-detecÃÃes ocorreram em 26 casos: 16 com dois vÃrus e 10 com trÃs vÃrus. NÃo foram observadas diferenÃas clÃnicas entre as IRH positivas e negativas para os vÃrus pesquisados. VÃrus respiratÃrios foram identificados em quatro dos cinco casos de Ãbito (4,16%; 5/120) associados à IRH. O conhecimento sobre a ocorrÃncia da IRH virais em associaÃÃo com o perÃodo de circulaÃÃo dos vÃrus na comunidade, como descrito no estudo, permite desenvolver aÃÃes especÃficas de medidas para prevenir e controlar surtos hospitalares causados pelos vÃrus.

Pełny tekst źródłaIntroduction Every tenth patient in Sweden is affected by nosocomial infections. Among these, urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most frequently occurring within the hospital environment. Nosocomial infections lead to increasing costs for care, more suffering among the patients, increasing use of antibiotics, and longer treatment spells. The Academic hospital have engaged all wards in the so called VRISS-project (“nosocomial infections must be stopped”) in order to reduce the number of nosocomial infections.
Aim In connection to the VRISS-project new routines for removal of uretrahl catheters are introduced at ward 70E2 at the Academic hospital. The new routines imply that the catheter should be removed during the first post-op day. According to the old routines the catheter was to be removed no later than on the third post-op day. The authors of this study choose to investigate whether the new routines for uretrahl catheter removal have any effect on the occurrence of nosocomial UTI’s.
Methods The study is a restrospective record study with quantitative, descriptive design. 411 journals from 2007 (188) and 2009 (223) have been reviewed. All patients that underwent knee or hip operations during January, February, March, and April 2007 and 2009 are included in the sample.
Results The study shows that the new routines at ward 70E2 had some, but not full, influence on the share of patients with nosocomial UTI. Among women under 71 years of age and men older than 70 years, the number of days with uretrahl catheter and the share of patients with nosocomial UTI have decreased. However, among the younger men (<71 years) and the older women (>70 years) no effects of the new routines are detected.
Conclusion To summarize it can be concluded that the routines for how to use uretrahl catheters at ward 70E2 work fairly well. However, the results also show that the number of days with uretrahl catheter and the share of patients with nosocomial UTI among risk patients, above all among the older women, are the same in spite of the new routines for removal of uretrahl catheters. Thus, strategies for detecting risk patients in an early stage can be improved upon. Such measures can reduce the risk for nosocomial UTI among these patients.

Pełny tekst źródłaNosocomial infections with multidrug-resistant bacteria are increasing in ICU. They have major individual and collective consequences. Mortality in the ICU and prolongation of length of stay are the two main individual consequences known to date. Several confounding factors make it difficult to interpret studies, including the patient's underlying condition, the virulence of bacteria and the adequacy of therapy. It is essential to measure the share of each of these factors and to clarify their respective responsibilities to mobilize the different actors and improve the prognosis of patients in intensive care. In this thesis, and drawing upon a database including ICU patients, we used the latest statistical methods and tried to take into account the various confounding factors to evaluate the individual consequences of multidrug-resistant bacteria in ICU. We sought to address three specific questions: mortality linked to specific bacterial species, factors associated with mortality in patients with severe sepsis or septic shock in intensive care unit, and the consequences of the isolation of patients infected or colonized with multidrug-resistant bacteria. We demonstrated that (1) because they are associated with a longer stay in intensive care unit, Clostridium difficile infections increase the pressure of colonization although they have no direct consequence on mortality; (2) the prognosis of sever sepsis or septic shock depends on the adequacy of the antibiotic therapy and that resistant bacteria are often inadequately treated; and (3) that isolation is not only associated with an expected increase in the risk of nosocomial pneumonia with multi-drug resistant pathogens strains but also with an increase in non-infectious adverse events

Pełny tekst źródłaDiarreia nosocomial (DN) à uma infecÃÃo relacionada à assistÃncia à saÃde (IRAS) com incidÃncia e severidade crescentes. PropÃe-se determinar a incidÃncia da DN, os fatores de risco e a incidÃncia da doenÃa associada a Clostridium difficile (C. difficile). Para isso, um estudo caso â controle, pareando pacientes por idade, sexo, perÃodo de admissÃo, clÃnica e diagnÃstico, foi conduzido, de 06/ fev/12 a 05/fev/13, no Hospital UniversitÃrio da UFC. Casos ̶ pacientes com DN e Controles ̶ pacientes sem DN. Definiu-se DN como fezes lÃquidas, trÃs ou mais vezes em 24 horas, com duraÃÃo superior a 12 horas, sem outras causas inflamatÃrias ou procedimentos diagnÃsticos. DN foi detectada mediante busca ativa, visitando-se os pacientes das Unidades de Hematologia, Transplante HepÃtico e Renal. O teste ELISA TOX A/B II foi utilizado para detectar as toxinas A e/ou B e diagnosticar doenÃa associada ao C. difficile. Demais IRAS foram investigadas por intermÃdio de fichas de notificaÃÃo de infecÃÃo hospitalar (IH). O Ãndice geral de IH foi de 7,17%. A incidÃncia da DN nas enfermarias de Hematologia, Transplante HepÃtico e Renal foi 4,80% (44/925) e da DN associada ao C. difficile 0,12% (01/925). Detectaram-se toxinas A/B de C. difficile em caso [1/43 (2,32%)] e controles [3/72 (4,17%)]. DN foi significantemente associada ao uso prÃvio > 6 antimicrobianos por paciente, alÃm do uso prÃvio de ciprofloxacina, metronidazol, polimixina B e dieta enteral (p≤ 0,05). Pacientes com DN permaneceram mais tempo internados, tiveram mais vÃmitos, cÃlicas e febre, verificando-se alta significÃncia estatÃstica (p≤ 0,05). Outras IRAS identificadas, nos casos e controles, foi infeÃÃo do trato urinÃrio 54% (15/28), seguida da corrente sanguÃnea 32% (8/28), do sÃtio cirÃrgico 11% (3/28) e de infecÃÃo de partes moles 4% (1/28). DN impÃe riscos aos pacientes jà debilitados. Os dados demonstram a presenÃa endÃmica do C. difficile. A atualizaÃÃo da epidemiologia local orienta medidas de controle da IH, como uso judicioso de antibiÃticos, cautelas com a dieta enteral e precauÃÃes de contato, para os pacientes com diarreia nosocomial.
Nosocomial diarrhea (ND) is a healthcare - associated infections (HAI) with increasing incidence and severity. It is proposed to determine the incidence of ND, the associated risk factors and the incidence of disease associated to Clostridium difficile (C. difficile). For this, a case - control study, pairing patients by age, sex, length of admission, and clinical diagnosis was conducted 06 / Feb/12 to 05/Fev/13 in the University Hospital of the UFC. Cases: patients with DN and controls: patients without ND. Nosocomial diarrhea is defined as watery stools, three or more times within 24 hours, over 12 hours without further diagnostic procedures or inflammatory causes. ND was detected by active surveillance, visiting the patients of Hematology, Liver and Renal Transplant. DN was defined as loose stools, 3 or more times in 24 hours, with duration longer than 12 hours, without other inflammatory causes or diagnostic procedures. The ELISA TOX A / B II test was used to detect toxin A and/or B and to diagnose C. difficile associated disease. Others HAI were investigated by the notification records of nosocomial infection (NI). The overall rate of Nosocomial infection was 7.17 %. The incidence of DN in the wards of Hematology, Liver and Renal Transplant was 4.80% (44/925) and C. difficile associated with DN was 0.12 % (01/925). Toxins A/B were detected in the case of C. difficile [1/43 (2.32%)] and controls [3/72 (4.17%)]. DN was significantly associated with previous use > 6 antimicrobials per patient, beyond the prior use of ciprofloxacin, metronidazole, polymyxin B and enteral feeding (p ≤ 0.05). Patients with ND remained in hospital longer, had more vomiting, cramps and fever, verifying high statistical significance (p ≤ 0.05). Other identified HAI were mainly urinary infection 54% (15/28), followed by bacterial bloodstream infection 32% (8/28), surgical site infection 11% (3/28) and soft tissue infection 4% (1/28). ND entails risks to the already debilitated patients. The data demonstrate the presence of endemic C. difficile. The updated of the local epidemiology guide control measures NI, such as judicious use of antibiotics, enteral feeding precautions and contact precautions for patients with nosocomial diarrhea.

Pełny tekst źródłaThe role of the microbiology laboratory is (1) to provide infection control information, so that highly transmissible isolates may be identified and appropriate control measures instigated as rapidly as possible and (2) to provide adequate information to the clinician enabling correct antibiotic choices to be made, particularly in the critically ill. Microbiological data is by definition slow as it is culture dependent: this study focused on the development of genetic, culture-independent methods for detection of resistance in nosocomial pathogens that could be introduced into the routine microbiology department and would fit into the routine workflow with a consequent reduction in time to result. Initially a duplex real-time polymerase chain reaction was developed for the rapid identification and detection of S. aureus and methicillin-resistance. This was optimised for immediate as-needs testing of positive blood cultures signalling with “Gram positive cocci, possibly staphylococcus” evident on Gram stain, on a random access real-time PCR platform. This technology, allowing early identification of S. aureus and its susceptibility to methicillin, by simple automated methodology, may soon become the standard for all microbiology laboratories servicing the critically ill. The second part of the study involved the development of a selective broth and multiplex PCR for detection of three important nosocomial isolates at this institution, methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, and multi-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MRAB). A multiplex PCR using four primer sets was designed to detect low colonisation levels of these isolates after overnight incubation in selective broth, significantly reducing the time to result and associated costs. This potentially useful epidemiological screening tool is practical, reproducible and sensitive with the potential of moving to an automated test (using real-time PCR, for example) in the future. The availability of early negative results judged by simple visual scanning (or by densitometry), means that the result is less operator-dependent, potentially reducing error rate. The last part of the study dealt with an important resistance phenotype, aminoglycoside resistance. There had been no recent comprehensive local surveys performed to determine the frequency of aminoglycoside resistance amongst the Enterobacteriaceae, or to identify the genetic determinants and their transmissibility. The isolates collected for the study were all resistant to at least one of gentamicin, tobramycin or amikacin. Identification of integron cassette arrays and use of specific internal primers identified at least one genetic determinant for gentamicin and tobramycin resistance in 22 of 23 isolates. Three isolates had two aminoglycoside resistance genes, and three isolates had three aminoglycoside resistance genes identified (Table 6.1). Transferable gentamicin-resistant plasmids were predominant amongst Klebsiella spp., but less so amongst Enterobacter spp. and E. coli. Gentamicin-resistant Klebsiella spp. were often ESBL positive, the genetic determinants of which were typically co-transferred on a conjugative plasmid. The importance of screening at a local level was demonstrated by the unexpected predominance of aac(6')-IIc amongst Enterobacter spp. and the detection of a new gene (aac(6')-LT). This part of the study has provided an understanding of the primary aminoglycoside resistance genes present in the local setting and their association with other resistances. This knowledge will allow development of assays for patient screening (clinical isolates and colonising flora), to better understand the epidemiology of aminoglycoside resistance and to allow better choice of antibiotic therapy related to presence or absence of these genes.

Pełny tekst źródłaDespite major advance in techniques and reinforcement of infection control measures, Pseudomonas aeruginosa remains frequent in intensive care unit (ICU) and is responsible for severe hospital-acquired infections. Several patient and pathogen-specific risk factors have been associated with acquisition of P. aeruginosa in ICUs Nevertheless those risk factors were identified in monocentric studies which rarely took in account the context of cares. If individual risk factors for P. aeruginosa acquisition have appeared to be predominant since then, the role of contextual variables seems to have been underestimated. This thesis provides insight into the epidemiology of P. aeruginosa in ICU, identifies individual and contextual risk factors for P. aeruginosa infection and P. aeruginosa acquisition and emphasizes the interest of contextual variables which gives new perspectives to P. aeruginosa prevention

Pełny tekst źródłaSyftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva varför följsamheten gällande handhygien ofta är låg bland vårdpersonal, samt hur man kan öka följsamheten för handhygien bland vårdpersonal. Metoden som använts var en litteraturstudie. Datainsamling skedde via databaserna Medline (PubMed), Cinahl (EBSCO host) och Academic Search Elite. Sökorden som använts: prevention, hand disinfection, hand washing, infection control, nosocomial infection och education. Totalt användes 15 vetenskapliga artiklar. Resultatet delades in i två huvudrubriker: Orsaker till att följsamheten ofta är låg bland vårdpersonal och faktorer som kan öka följsamheten gällande handhygien bland vårdpersonal. De två huvudrubrikerna delades in i sex underrubriker: tidsbrist, hudbekymmer, kunskapsbrist, utbildning, affisch/posters och tillgänglighet. Resultatet visade att det finns många anledningar till att följsamheten för handhygien är låg. Studien visar att tidsbrist, hudbekymmer samt kunskapsbrist gällande hand hygien är de vanligaste orsakerna. Utbildning tillsammans med affischer/posters samt ökad tillgänglighet vad gäller material har visat sig vara det mest effektiva sättet att öka följsamheten av handhygien.

Pełny tekst źródłaA Unidade de Isolamento e Contenção Biológica (UICB) é uma subunidade hospitalar do Hospital Escolar da FMV-ULisboa, destinada à admissão de animais com diagnóstico ou suspeita clínica de doenças infeciosas. A UICB constitui um ambiente de alto risco de transmissão de agentes infeciosos, pelo que a implementação de programas de vigilância de infeções nosocomiais nestas instalações apresenta extrema relevância. Neste trabalho propôs-se identificar as superfícies hospitalares mais contaminadas da UICB, que poderiam beneficiar de ações corretivas a nível dos seus protocolos de limpeza e desinfeção. Para tal, foram realizadas colheitas de amostras de superfícies hospitalares de 3 áreas distintas da UICB, de modo a efetuar a contagem de aeróbios totais e investigar a presença de 4 microrganismos nosocomiais: Enterococcus spp. resistente à vancomicina, Staphylococcus aureus resistente à meticilina, Escherichia coli resistente a cefalosporinas de 3ª geração e Pseudomonas aeruginosa resistente a carbapenemos. Posteriormente, foram implementados novos protocolos de desinfeção, tendo sido avaliada a sua eficácia. A quantificação bacteriana foi realizada com auxílio de um meio de cultura inespecífico, enquanto que para o isolamento das espécies bacterianas de interesse foram utilizados meios de cultura seletivos e diferenciais. Os isolados bacterianos foram identificados com base nas suas características macro e microscópicas, bem como no seu perfil bioquímico. A avaliação quantitativa revelou que as jaulas, a esponja e o telefone foram as superfícies com maior carga bacteriana das salas de isolamento, preparatório e de trabalho, respetivamente. Das 4 bactérias sinalizadas neste estudo, Enterococcus spp. (11,3%) foram os mais frequentemente isolados, seguindo-se Escherichia coli (1,5%) e Pseudomonas aeruginosa (1,5%). Não foi possível isolar nenhuma das bactérias sinalizadas, no entanto um dos isolados de P. aeruginosa apresentou resistência ao imipenem. Após avaliação destes resultados, foram implementados novos protocolos de limpeza e desinfeção que revelaram uma eficácia na redução contagens bacterianas de 99,99% nas jaulas e na esponja e de 90 a 95% no telefone. Este estudo conclui que as jaulas e as superfícies de contato humano foram as mais contaminadas nas salas de isolamento. Ainda assim, as novas estratégias de desinfeção implementadas demonstraram-se eficazes na redução da contaminação ambiental. Estes resultados podem contribuir para realçar a importância das medidas de prevenção e controlo de infeções na redução da disseminação de agentes infeciosos em ambiente hospitalar e, consequentemente, no aumento da qualidade e segurança do serviço prestado.
ABSTRACT - PREVENTING NOSOCOMIAL INFECTIONS: BACTERIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF HOSPITAL SURFACES OF THE BIOLOGICAL ISOLATION AND CONTAINMENT UNIT OF THE TEACHING HOSPITAL OF FMV-ULISBOA - The Biological Isolation and Containment Unit (BICU) is a subunit of the Teaching Hospital of FMV-ULisboa, for the admission of animals with confirmed infectious diseases or under clinical suspicion and waiting for a diagnosis. As a high-risk environment for the transmission of infectious agents, it is extremely important to implement programs for the surveillance of nosocomial infections in these facilities. The purpose of this study was to identify the BICU environmental surfaces with a higher bacterial contamination level and to implement corrective actions on their cleaning and disinfection protocols. For that, swab samples were collected from selected environmental surfaces in 3 different areas of the isolation unit, to evaluate the total aerobic bacteria load and investigate the presence of 4 nosocomial microorganisms: vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus spp., methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, 3rd generation cephalosporin-resistant Escherichia coli and carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Subsequently, new disinfection protocols were implemented, and their effectiveness evaluated. Bacterial quantification was performed by using a non-selective media, while specific selective media were used for the isolation of the target bacteria. Isolates were identified based on their macro and microscopic characteristics and their biochemical profile. The quantitative evaluation revealed that the cages, sponge, and telephone were the surfaces with the highest bacterial load in the isolation, preparatory and worker’s rooms, respectively. Regarding the 4 pathogens investigated, Enterococcus spp. were the most frequently isolated (11.3%), followed by E. coli (1.5%) and P. aeruginosa (1.5%). It was not possible to isolate any of the target bacteria, although one of the P. aeruginosa isolates was resistant to imipenem. In the end, new cleaning and disinfection protocols were implemented, which proved to be effective in reducing bacterial counts by 99.99% in cages and the sponge, and by 90 to 99% on the telephone. This study concludes that the cages and the human contact surfaces were the most contaminated surfaces in the isolation rooms. Nevertheless, the new disinfection strategies were effective in reducing environmental contamination, including by some potentially nosocomial agents. These results may contribute to highlight the importance of infection prevention and control measures, as fundamental tools to reduce the spread of infectious agents in the hospital environment and, consequently, to increase the quality and safety of the service provided.

Pełny tekst źródłaLimiting nosocomial infections is still a health challenge although the technical development has improved. They are inherent in medical care and the health care services have the highest prevalence. Indeed, whatever the service (surgical, medical or both), the patients life-giving process is under attack because of the emergence of one or several organ faillures;This generates a diagnostic and therapeutic arsenal which is often invasive.Among the consequences resulting from these infections we will take into account :i) a longer stay in hospitalii) an extra costiii) a higher mortality rateiv) bacterial resistance .If we could anticipate upstream and downstream this issue with complex origins and sometimes fatal consequences, it would be a major asset for patients and a strategic tool for medical teams.The present study is organized in three parts, and first focusses onto the identification of the nosocomial event and death risk factors in intensive care where the study took place. We took into account the the case-mix of the intensive care unit in the TIMONE University Hospital. The study was made with two different statistic methods that is logistic regression and the competitive risks method.The next step first consisted in comparing the predictive capacities of the APACHE II, LOD, SOFA and SAPS II scores in nosocomial patients hospitalized in intensive care . Then it tried to determine if the variation of the LOD, SOFA, APACHEII and SAPS II scores was a prognostic risk factor.Results showed that the best predictive performance was objectively measured by the SOFA and that only the variation of this score between the first day in hospital and the day of the diagnosis of a nosocomial infection, calculated thanks to the AUC, could be predictive of a nosocomal risk. After these steps, and with the results calculated , the construction of a predictive score could be established thanks to the logistic regression method. The objective of this score is to help, or even influence the prescribing doctors when they take decisions or when they try to adjust their therapeutic practices

Pełny tekst źródłaMonitoring the infection acquired in intensive care units (ICU-AI) is a strategic tool for the control of hospital-associated infections. We enhanced the national surveillance database REA-RAISIN with the local diagnosis-related group database. This allows us to have data on the whole hospitalization and assess additional risk factors. The assessment of the impact of these ICU-AI on mortality and length of stay needs appropriate and multiple statistical analysis to take in account various potential bias, including time-dependent bias and competitive risk. This impact is a function of the kind of IAR. Mortality is most affected by bacteremia, more lightly by pneumonia and stay equivalent for patients with or without urinary tract infections. On the other hand, excess of length of stay was the most important for patients with pneumonia and urinary tract infections but moderate for those with bacteremia.Finally, studying the carriage of methicillin-resistant S. aureus appeared insufficient to detect outbreaks and does not measure the risk associated with SASM carriage

Children’s hospitalization leads to stressful factors for patients and their relatives. It is a situation that can cause emotional trauma in children, thus requiring kindness and attention from health care professionals, in addition to therapeutic care. Such care can be achieved by means of toys, which help children recover physical and emotional wellness, thus contributing to their health recovery. Nevertheless, there are factors that contribute for toy use to become an object of attention when considering the fact that toys will be shared and the lack of toy hygiene practices at pediatric hospitalization units, since they may be a vehicle for microorganism transmission. The objective of this study was: to describe the bacteriological conditions of plastic toys used at the hospitalization unit of Bauru State Hospital (BSH). Sterile swabs were used to collect samples from hands and toys. Sampling was performed by using sterile swabs at three different moments: at the first moment, swab collection was performed from children’s hand and from toys before playing began; at the second moment, a sample was collected immediately after playing; and, at the third moment, swab collection from the toy took place after hygienization using 79% alcohol. Following collection, the samples were sent to the Laboratory of Clinical Analysis of BSH, where they were seeded in Agar MacConkey and Manitol culture media. The presence or not of bacterial growth was observed after 24 hours. Whenever bacterial growth occurred, the findings were identified, and when no growth was observed, the sample was kept in a stove for another 24 hours in order to determine it as present or absent of bacterial growth.

METHOD: Prospective cohort study of two years on 568 patients divided in Group A (n = 281, cohort observational control group) and Group B (n = 287; experimental cohort group), which were implemented improvement measures (administration of oral sucralfate, surgical prophylaxis and aseptic measures). We compare the rates of follow aspects: ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), urethral catheter, central venous catheter and surgical wound infections, length and ICU mortality in both groups. RESULTS: After the implementation of quality improvement cycle by meeting quality criteria, we obtained a significant reduction in incidence rates of all infections under control. We found no differences in overall mortality ICU between the two groups, except in those who developed one NI. Patients with VAP showed a non significant reduction in mortality. The subgroup of patients receiving sucralfate showed a decrease in the frequency of NI and related mortality. However, the degree of improvement protocol violations was high (analyzed by Diagram’ s Pareto). CONCLUSIONS: The establishment of a surveillance system and implementation of improvement measures have reduced both the incidence and mortality of NI, but not the overall ICU mortality.

The facility’s 2017 Occupational Infection & Needle Prick Report showed the proportions of new nosocomial TB infection cases among HCWs rose steadily from (5.6%) n=2 in 2013/14, (7.8%) n= 4 2015/16 and (9%) n=7, to (11%) n=11 cases in 2017/18. Study findings confirmed high new nosocomial TB infections among HCWs and a likelihood that these cases were usually under- reported meaning the problem of nosocomial TB infection among HCWs was actually bigger than understood at the hospital. In fact during the period of the mini-thesis study (July 2018) alone, three (3) cases of nosocomial TB infections were reported among HCWs (a porter and 2 nurses). Aim: The aim of this study was to explore the factors which are perceived to be contributing to nosocomial TB infection amongst doctors and nurses in a Level 2 referral hospital in the Free State Province of South Africa.

Seu objetivo foi definir as taxas de prevalência e mortalidade desses espisódios, identificar as espécies envolvidas e relacionar a freqüência dos fatores de risco entre adultos e recém-nascidos (RNs), bem como entre os episódios de candidemia por Candida albicans (CA) e por Candida não-albicans (CNA). A metodologia Incluiu os casos de forma consecutiva, à medida que foi detectada hemocultura positiva para esses fungos. A coleta de dados dos pacientes foi realizada com base no prontuário médico, por meio de formulário padronizado e analisados utilizando o programa Social Package Statistical Science e englobando 45 casos de candidemia, sendo dezenove casos (42%) em neonatos. Foi observado que a incidência de candidemia nosocomial no HUCAM foi de 2,0/10.000 pacientes-dia, 1,9/1.000 altas e 16/10.000 admissões, sendo maior nos pacientes internados em unidades de terapia intensiva. As espécies não-albicans predominaram e Candida parapsilosis foi mais incidente entre os RNs; os grupos de pacientes susceptíveis mais envolvidos foram aqueles com internação em torno de três semanas, com síndrome séptica aguda e em uso de antibióticos; a freqüência dos fatores de risco foi similar entre os adultos e os RNs, assim como entre os episódios devidos a CA e os devidos a CNA; maior utilização de nutrição parenteral total foi encontrada entre os RNs e de diálise, entre os adultos (p < 0,05); a taxa de mortalidade global foi de 44% entre os adultos e de 58% entre os RNs; e a taxa de mortalidade atribuída foi de 16% entre os adultos e 26% entre os RNs. Foi concluído que a incidência de candidemia no HUCAM foi alta e associada com substancial mortalidade.
This work was a descriptive study, which described the episodes of nosocomial candidemias occurring at Hospital Universitário Cassiano Antônio de Moraes (HUCAM), between March 1st, 2003 and February 28th, 2006. Its aim was to define the rates of prevalence and mortality of these epidsodes, to identify the species involved and to relate the frequency of the risk factors among adults and newborn (NBs), as well as the epidsodes among candidemias caused by Candida albicans (CA) and Candida non-albicans (CNA). The methodology included the cases in a consecutive way, as positive hemoculture was detected for these fungi. The date collection of patients was based on the medical records, through a standard form and it was analyzed using the Social Package Statistical Science program, including 45 cases of candidemias, being nineteen cases (42%) in NBs. It was observed that the incidence of nosocomial candidemia at HUCAM was 2.0/10.000 patient-day, 1.9/1.000 discharges and 16/10.000 admissions, being greater in patients interned in intensive therapy unity. the CNA predominated and C. parapsilosis was more incidente among the NBs; the group of susceptible more involved were those interned for 3 weeks with acute septical syndrome and in use of antibiotics; the frequency of risk factor was similar among the episodes due to CA and the ones due to CAN; greater utilization of total parenteral nutrition was found in the NBs and the dialysis, among the adults (p< 0,005); the total mortality rate was 44% among adults and 58% among the NBs. And the attributed mortality rate was 16 in adults and 26% in NBs. It was concluded that incidence of candidemias at HUCAM was high and associated with substantial mortality.

Pełny tekst źródłaAcinetobacter species are opportunistic pathogens that have been associated with wide variety infections related to health care affects mainly patients hospitalized in intensive care units. A. baumannii and its phenotypically related species (Acinetobacter genoespécie 3 and genoespécie 13TU), together forming the A.baumannii complex and are considered species of greatestclinical importance. The objective of this study was to identify at the species level, to know the resistance profile and analyze the genetic diversity of 102 samples of Acinetobacter spp. isolated from blood cultures of patients admitted to four hospitals in the state of Rio de Janeiro. After using two molecular techniques, 87 (85.3%) were identified as A. baumannii, seven (6.9%) as A. genoespécie 3, two (1.9%) A. genoespécie 13TU and six (5.9%) were not identified at the species level. The most specimens of A. baumannii presented multidrug resistance, showing resistance rates above 70% for ceftazidime, cefotaxime and ciprofloxacin. The carbapenem resistance ranged from 59% to 91%. There was a wide variety of antibiotype between samples of A. baumannii, with two prevalent multiresistant antibiotypes. One, characterized by sensitivity only to aminoglycosides occurred in 20.7% of the samples and the other (14.9% of the samples) characterized by resistance to all antimicrobials tested. By PCR, we observed that 77% of the samples of A. baumannii showed amplification product consistent with gene blaOXA-23-like and of these, 64 were resistant to both imipenem and meropenem. In contrast, all samples of A. baumannii OXA-23 negative were sensitive to carbapenems. In samples of A. genoespécie 3 and 13TU were observed low percentages of resistance against the tested antimicrobials and only a sample of Acinetobacter genoespécie 3 showed amplification product consistent with blaOXA-23-like, which was sensitive to carbapenens. The genes blaOXA-40-like and blaOXA-58-like were not detected in 102 samples of Acinetobacter spp.. Analysis of genetic polymorphism of the samples of A. baumannii by PFGE showed the presence of 35 clones distributed among the hospitals. A clone (designated A), present in 32 samples (36.9%) was found in four hospitals. In 93.8% of the samples inclued clone A were detected the gene blaOXA-23-like. The spread of a clone multidrug-resistant A. baumannii producing the OXA-23 enzyme in the four hospitals showed the importance of infections control measures more effective, in order to minimize morbidity and mortality caused by this important pathogen. Moreover, as other species may also can be associated with infections, we showed the importance of correct identification of the samples at the species level, for the knowledge of the pathogenicity.The resistance profile and epidemiological study of species of Acinetobacter other than A. baumannii, especially those belonging to the Complex A. baumannii

Pełny tekst źródłaBackground: Due to the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, Clostridium difficile infections (CDI) is increasing in frequency and severity over the years, resulting in increased morbidity and mortality as well as higher hospital costs. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate factors associated with Clostridium difficile infection among adult patients with hospital-acquired diarrhea and factors associated with poor prognosis. Study design: Retrospective case-control study. Methods: In a terciary hospital, during the period of january 1° 2010 to 31 july 2012, were compared 75 patients with documented Clostridum difficile colitis with 75 matched controls with hospital-acquired diarrhea secondary to an etiology other than Clostridium difficile. Patients with colits were identified by a positive toxins A or B, an immunoenzymatic test VIDAS®, or by a negative or indeterminate test for these toxins with colonoscopy compatible with Clostridium difficile colitis. All clinical and microbiological variables with a P value <0.10 in the univariate analysis were included in the stepwise multiple logistic regression to identify potential factors associated with C. difficile etiology among patients with hospital-acquired diarrhea and factors associated with poor prognosis among those patients with documented C.difficile colitis. In the multivariate model, independent variables remained in the model if the P value was < 0.05. Results: Previous antibiotic treatment (OR, 13.3; 95% CI, 1.40-126.90), presence of abdominal distension (OR, 3.85; 95% CI, 1.35-10.98) and fecal leukocytes (OR, 8.79; 95% CI, 1.41-54.61) at the onset of diarrhea were predictors of CDI. On the other hand, presence of anorexia was negatively associated with C.difficile etiology (OR, 0.15; 95% CI, 0.03-0.66). Upon multivariate analysis, enteral tube feeding was the only factor independently associated with a composite endpoint which included in-hospital mortality, ICU admission and treatment failure (OR, 3.75; 95% CI, 1.24-11.29). Conclusion:.Previous antibiotic use was risk factor for clostridium difficile colits. In this study tube feeding was the only factor associated with poor prognosis.
