Definition of multiresistant  bacteria? 16.09.2011 - MRE - Düsseldorf
List of known viruses according to § 23 Abs. 1 S. 1 Types of bacteria: resistance to the following substances has been tested in the framework of clinical-microbiological diagnostics. 1 S. aureus: Vancomycin,  Oxacillin ,  Gentamicin, Quinolone Gr. IV (e.g. Moxifloxacin), Teicoplanin, Quinupristin / Dalfopristin 2 S. pneumoniae: Vancomycin,  Penicillin  (Oxacillin 1 µg), Cefotaxim, Erythromycin, Quinolone Gr. IV  (e.g. Moxifloxacin) 3 E. faecalis / E. faecium: Vancomycin ,  Gentamicin (“high level”: Gentamicin 500 mg/l; Streptomycin 1000 mg/l (Mikrodil.) or 2000 mg/l (Agardil.), Teicoplanin E. faecium: zusätzlich Quinupristin / Dalfopristin 4 E. coli / Klebsiella spp.:   Imipenem / Meropenem, Quinolone Gr. II (e.g. Ciprofloxacin), Amikacin, Ceftazidim, Piperacillin / Tazobactam, Cefotaxim or analogous test substances 5 Enterobacter cloacae / Citrobacter spp. / Serratia marcescens: Imipenem / Meropenem, Chinolon Gr. II (e.g. Ciprofloxacin), Amikacin 6 P. aeruginosa / A. baumannii:   :   Imipenem / Meropenem, Quinolone Gr. II  (e.g. Ciprofloxacin), Amikacin, Ceftazidim, Piperacillin / Tazobactam 7 S. maltophilia:  Quinolone Gr. II (e.g. Ciprofloxacin), Amikacin, Ceftazidim, Piperacillin / Tazobactam, Cotrimoxazol 8 Candida spp.  * Fluconazol *  Only recorded in establishments with haemotological-oncological departments. For the main resistant species the leading resistances are in bold and underlined. Multiresitant bacteria 2010 16.09.2011 - MRE - Düsseldorf
Causes of MRB 1. Misuse of antibiotics in medicine - MRSA: Gyrase inhibitors  - ESBL: 3rd generation Cephalosporines - VRE: Vancomycin use 2. Reduced cost of valuable antibiotics 3. Use of antibiotics in veterinary medicine/  intensive farming 16.09.2011 - MRE - Düsseldorf
16.09.2011 - MRE - Düsseldorf Rate of multiresistant bacteria per 1,000 patient days
Increase in resistance through use of antibiotics Increase in Quinolone use of around 1 %    After one month, increase in the incidences    of nosocomial ESBL infections reached  4.43 % 16.09.2011 - MRE - Düsseldorf
Increase in resistance through antibiotic use Increase in the use of  3rd Generation Cephalosporins over 12 weeks:    Doubling of ESBL-related    nosocomial infections 16.09.2011 - MRE - Düsseldorf
A common wrong interpretation: Out of the 600,000 new incidences per year in Germany “ only“ 5-10 % are due to multiresistant bacteria! 16.09.2011 - MRE - Düsseldorf
16.09.2011 - MRE - Düsseldorf Basic principle of MRB  MRB are not different from bacterial infections apart from by their RESISTANCE TO ANTIBIOTICS This means: - They transfer from person to person easily - They are capable of surviving  (epidemic MRSA strains)? - Disinfection treatments have limitations   *Discussion: Is MRSA connected to increased virulence?

An increased risk for an MRSA colonisation in line with RKI* recommendations exists for: Patients with known MRSA anamnesis Transfers from regions/establishments with a known high MRSA prevalence In-patients who have stayed in hospital for more than 3 days in the last 12 months Patients who have direct (occupational) contact with animals and agricultural animal feed (pigs) In-patients who during their stay have had contact with MRSA carriers (e.g. by staying in the same room) 16.09.2011 - MRE - Düsseldorf * Robert Koch Institute, Germany
An increased risk for an MRSA colonisation in line with RKI recommendations exists for: 6. Patients with two or more of the following risk factors: They are in need of constant care They have had a course of antibiotics in the last 6 months  They have a catheter (e.g. bladder catheter, PEG tube) They have dialysis They have skin ulcers/ gangrene/ chronic wounds/ deep infection of soft tissues They have burns 16.09.2011 - MRE - Düsseldorf
The microbiological screening rules include: - A swab of the nose, mouth and - A swab of wounds if necessary 16.09.2011 - MRE - Düsseldorf If the MRSA results are positive (ICD-10: U 80.0):  Take hygiene measures (see text) Recommended measures include isolation If the MRSA results are negative:   Standard hygiene practices Source: Epi.

MRSA General characteristics of MSSA and MRSA  Transfer: Predominately through physical contact (particularly hands!) Aerogens (dust, droplets) Virulence depends on the strain! Contagiousness: depends on the strain and the patient Mode of infection: both  endogenous  and  exogenous 16.09.2011 - MRE - Düsseldorf
MRSA and other multiresistant bacteria Bacteria-related measures for MRSA Strict isolation (including “just“ colonisation cases) Adequate therapy Sanitisation Prevent re-colonisation Avoid postponments in hospital Epidemiological recording/ analysis 16.09.2011 - MRE - Düsseldorf
Psychological aspects of isolation -  Measures: Keep isolated patients better informed Show understanding for the unusual situation For longer periods of isolation: a room with a toilet A bathroom for shared rooms Adequate number of staff on wards Daily contact with the ward‘s doctor (very important!) Facilitate flexible visiting hours Aim for individual isolation (thereby protecting personal space) When entering the room, staff should always introduce themselves Always maintain hygiene measures 16.09.2011 - MRE - Düsseldorf C.

ESBL Principles ESBL is considerably less persistent on surfaces, appliances, hands and protective clothing than MRSA and VRE. The airborne transmission of ESBL plays a secondary role as it does for nosocomial infection bacteria generally. 16.09.2011 - MRE - Düsseldorf

ESBL / MBL Applicable antibiotics: Tigecycline Colistin Fosfomycin Combinations Pharmacokinetics and side effects! Pan-resistance possible  (Tigecycline: higher mortality rate) 16.09.2011 - MRE - Düsseldorf
Hygiene measures for patients with  MBL colonisation/infection Generally the same as ESBL: Gloves/overalls Hygenic disinfection of hands Basic hygiene measures! Individual treatment only if high risk of pathogens spreading (diarrhoea, large open wounds, tracheotomy etc.) 16.09.2011 - MRE - Düsseldorf
Measures for ESBL Isolation Customised solution for every house In unproblematic cases no isolation Screening Use not yet established, possibly to be considered for selected situations (Eich, 2006) 16.09.2011 - MRE - Düsseldorf
Measures for ESBL Decolonisation: No sustained success documented Problems: Quinolone resistance General development of resistance Other areas with colonisation (Nasopharynx: Iodopovidone: J Hosp Infect 2001; 48: 207-213.) 16.09.2011 - MRE - Düsseldorf
Aspects of hospital hygiene for outbreaks of multiresistant bacteria Measures to avoid MRB 1. General antibiotic therapy 2. Antibiotic therapy for patients with MRE in accordance with regulations 3. Quick sanitisation (Example: MRSA) 4. Discharge patients quickly if possible 5.  BASIC HYGIENE!!! 16.09.2011 - MRE - Düsseldorf
Increase in the use of alcoholic hand disinfectants of around 1 %    after 4 months Reduction in incidences of infection by around  7 % Basic hygiene/ Disinfection of hands 16.09.2011 - MRE - Düsseldorf
MRSA Measures Sanitisation  Skin: Most important principle:  Wash when possible! Varied handwashes (  no antiseptics!) Reduces skin irritation Complete body wash Alternative: “wash“ without water with wipes impregnated with active agents. 16.09.2011 - MRE - Düsseldorf
MRSA Measures Sanitisation Mouth: Various solutions (Polyhexanide/ PVP-I/ Octenidine/ others)  16.09.2011 - MRE - Düsseldorf
MRSA Measures Preventing recontamination in the area Change clothing/ underwear daily Change beds daily Electric tootbrushes/ razers (wet) Disinfect dentures Disinfect personal belongings and everyday items 16.09.2011 - MRE - Düsseldorf
MRSA Measures Take action on failures in hygiene Most recontamination in same areas! Switch to other agents? Second attempt is worth it but have a more stringent course of action 16.09.2011 - MRE - Düsseldorf
Not enough staff: more deaths ICUs with high staff numbers: 17 % patient deaths ICUs with low staff numbers:    45 % patient deaths Increase in staff numbers monitored over 4 years:     Number of patient deaths dropped from 34 to 18 % Tarnoff-Mordi WO, How C, Warden A, Shearer AJ: Hospital mortality in relation to staff work load: 4-year-study in adult intensive-care unit Lancet 2000; 356: 185-189 Prospects and limitations of hygiene 16.09.2011 - MRE - Düsseldorf
