Northern two hospitals super bacterial infection
(2012-05-09 12:00) daytime news

CDC conducted a general examination of the hospital drug-resistant bacteria, and examination results in 13 hospitals in bacteria and found that 16 bacteria with resistance genes KPC has, so many antibiotics ineffective, some patients died. The CDC survey found that drug-resistant bacteria are concentrated in the northern part of the two hospitals, the hospital need to strengthen hospital infection control.

Two years ago, the photographer of a travel program, shot in India for medical treatment, did not expect to return to Taiwan, he was tested with a super-resistance gene of the NDM-1, Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria. After this incident, Taiwan has 13 hospitals to participate in the drug-resistant bacteria Monitoring Science and Technology Program Although the NDM-1 gene of resistant bacteria is not detected, but it detected 16 Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria with resistance gene KPC has.

CDC Team Leader Li-Jen Lin patient of an aging population, as well as his a multiple chronic diseases and even his resistance is low or even positive health care such as intubation at a treatment or catheter or central catheter, etc. these health care measures are likely to produce a drug resistance in the process

Further investigation found that the CDC, 16 were detected resistance gene KPC Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria, 13 concentrated in the two hospitals, belonging to the outbreak case, this year, regardless of group poly sudden or sporadic infection in 27 patients, 14 people were killed, the CDC judged should be infected with drug-resistant bacteria after hospitalization, and may not be treated in isolation, or healthcare personnel did not implement infection control measures, will manufacture transmission opportunities.

CDC 's team leader, Li-Jen Lin these resistant strains in clinical practice based on an understanding of our domestic is Tiger neomycin Another is the two antibiotics of the so-called Chris Augustine antibiotics of the so-called carbapenem-resistant bacteria is the treatment effect

The CDC said that the resistance gene KPC Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria resistant ratio rose from 1.2 percent in 2003 to 2010 was 8.4%, about a seven-fold increase, although there are still three types of antibiotics to combat However, in order to avoid contributing to drug-resistant bacteria, or called for medical personnel to enhance hand hygiene, standard precautions and environmental disinfection in order to reduce the flows of drug-resistant bacteria in the hospital.
