Article Synopsis
- The study focused on understanding the prevalence of multidrug-resistant microorganisms (MDROs) in ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) among 536 adults with limited risk factors for these infections.
- Results showed a notable decline in the occurrence of MDROs in VAP cases from 2003 to 2016.
- However, the study noted that the percentage of MDROs increased significantly for VAP cases that developed after the 10th day of ventilation.
Between 2013 and 2014 a Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE) outbreak occurred in a teaching hospital in France. The outbreak was significant possibly due to the lack of implementation of recommended control measures. The aim of this study was to identify the effect of the lack of adherence to control measures for prevention of VRE acquisition in contact patients taking into account individual risk factors.
