Abstract

IntroductionHospitals from 24 European countries were asked for information on infection prevention and control (IPC) indicators as part of the Prevention of Hospital Infections by Intervention and Training (PROHIBIT) survey. Methods: Leading IPC personnel of 297 hospitals with established healthcare-associated infection (HCAI) surveillance provided information on local surveillance and feedback by using a questionnaire. Results: Most hospitals focused on bloodstream infection (BSI) (n = 251) and surgical site infection (SSI) (n = 254), with a SSI post-discharge surveillance in 148 hospitals. As part of the HCAI surveillance, meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was the leading multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) under surveillance. Seventy-nine per cent of hospitals (n = 236) monitored alcohol-based hand rub (ABHR) consumption. Feedback to the local IPC committees mainly included outcome data on HCAI (n = 259; 87%) and MDRO among HCAI (n = 245; 83%); whereupon a feedback of MDRO data depended on hospital size (p = 0.012). Discussion/conclusion: Objectives and methods of surveillance vary across Europe, with BSI, SSI and MRSA receiving considerably more attention than indicators such as pneumonia and urinary tract ...Continue Reading

Bacterial Pneumonia (ASM)

Bacterial pneumonia is a prevalent and costly infection that is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients of all ages. Here is the latest research.

CRISPR & Staphylococcus

CRISPR-Cas system enables the editing of genes to create or correct mutations. Staphylococci are associated with life-threatening infections in hospitals, as well as the community. Here is the latest research on how CRISPR-Cas system can be used for treatment of Staphylococcal infections.
