Targeted monitor and comprehensive intervention of multidrug-resistant organism infection in a general hospital / 中国感染控制杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the occurrence of multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO)infection in a general hospital,and take effective comprehensive intervention measures,so as to reduce MDRO infection.Methods Targeted monitoring on MDROs was performed from October 2012 to December 2013,comprehensive intervention measures were conducted,the occurrence of MDRO infection before and after intervention was compared.Results A total of 62 384 pa-tients were investigated,17.91%(n=11 176)were sent specimens for pathogen culture,606 times of culture for patients’ specimens were detected MDROs,292(0.47%)cases were MDRO healthcare-associated infection(HAI),314 were com-munity-acquired infection or colonization.MDRO infection case rate decreased from 0.65%(75/11 603)before intervention to 0.26%(36/13 875)after intervention (χ2 =21.08,P <0.05).Conclusion Comprehensive intervention measures can effectively reduce the occurrence of MDRO HAI.
