Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE)
Multidrug-resistant organisms, including CRE, pose a significant public health threat • Most common type of CRE is resistant to almost ALL antibiotics • New and frightening resistance patterns emerging • CRE has spread across US – found in one state in 2001, now spread to 38 states
Outbreaks show importance of long-term care, acute care, and nursing homes as source of HAIs in hospitals • Regional prevention efforts effective in preventing infections (e.g., Chicago, Florida)

Fighting back against antibiotic resistance
![Page 11: Antimicrobial Resistance in US Healthcare](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060211/629389c853cf485c1f252448/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Implications of highly-resistant organisms
• Limited treatment options • Increased transmission risks to vulnerable populations • Increase morbidity/mortality, LOS, hospital costs • Drives more antimicrobial use • Indicator of system failures; e.g., non-adherence to
recommended practices
![Page 12: Antimicrobial Resistance in US Healthcare](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060211/629389c853cf485c1f252448/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

C. difficile-associated disease prevention
• Use antibiotics correctly
• Use Contact Precautions for patients with known or suspected CDAD • Place patients in private rooms, if no private rooms – cohort
• Perform Hand Hygiene – alcohol based rub or soap and water – Consider using only soap and water in outbreak setting
• Use gloves when entering patients’ rooms and during patient care
• Use gowns if soiling of clothes is likely
• Dedicate equipment whenever possible
• Continue these precautions until diarrhea ceases
![Page 40: Antimicrobial Resistance in US Healthcare](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060211/629389c853cf485c1f252448/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
• Implement an environmental cleaning and disinfection strategy: • Adequate cleaning and disinfection of environmental
surfaces and reusable devices, especially items likely to be contaminated with feces and surfaces that are touched frequently
• Use of EPA registered hypochlorite-based disinfectant for environmental surface disinfection after cleaning.
• Infection control practices in LTC and home settings are similar to those in traditional health-care settings.

• Includes infection control, laboratory and surveillance recommendations.
• Review microbiology data to ensure there are no unrecognized cases.
• Use active surveillance cultures in response to clinical cases to assess for transmission.

Investigation of Carbapenem Resistant Klebsiella Pneumoniae in Hospital A, Puerto Rico, 2008
• On September 11, 2008, the PRDOH notified CDC of an outbreak of CRKP infections in patients at hospital A in Ponce, PR and requested CDC’s support in conducting an outbreak investigation.
![Page 44: Antimicrobial Resistance in US Healthcare](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060211/629389c853cf485c1f252448/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Timeline
• April 2008 – Initial recognition of increased number of CRKP cases
• May-July 2008 – Implemented strict hand hygiene and education
• August 2008 – ICU visitation hours limited, old ICU closed because of increased cases in the unit
• September 2008 – Facility requests assistance from PRDOH and CDC.

Key Elements for Infection Prevention
• Leadership • Protocols, resources, and systems in place • Performance measurements with feed back • Collaboration • Cultural change:
Infection control and prevention is everyone’s responsibility.

MDRO Prevention: Baseline Activities for ALL Healthcare Settings
Administrative measures • Designate MDRO prevention an institutional priority
• Implement notification systems for reportable MDROs
• Designate Hand hygiene adherence an institutional priority with monitoring and feedback
![Page 65: Antimicrobial Resistance in US Healthcare](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060211/629389c853cf485c1f252448/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
MDRO Prevention: Baseline Activities for ALL Healthcare Settings
MDRO education
• Provide MDRO education during orientation and education updates
• Include MDRO education in pre-post-medical education
![Page 66: Antimicrobial Resistance in US Healthcare](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060211/629389c853cf485c1f252448/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
MDRO Prevention: Baseline Activities for ALL Healthcare Settings
Antibiotic stewardship
• Stop unnecessary antibiotic use
• Verify prescribed antibiotics are active against clinical isolates
• Form multi-disciplinary committee to:
• Review antibiotic utilization patterns • Compare susceptibility trends • Provide appropriate antimicrobial formulary
![Page 67: Antimicrobial Resistance in US Healthcare](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060211/629389c853cf485c1f252448/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Antibiotic stewardship is an effective strategy to prevent and reverse resistance
Facility benefits Antibiotic best practices
Antibiotic stewardship
programs are a win-win
• Decrease antibiotic resistance
• Decrease C. difficile infections
• Decrease costs
• Improve patient outcomes
1. Ensure all orders have dose, duration, and indications
2. Get cultures before starting antibiotics
3. Take an “antibiotic timeout,” reassessing antibiotics after 48-72 hours
• A University of Maryland study showed one antibiotic stewardship program saved $17M over 8 years
• Antibiotic stewardship helps improve patient care and shorten hospital stays
![Page 68: Antimicrobial Resistance in US Healthcare](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060211/629389c853cf485c1f252448/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Stewardship Program Key Elements
• Commitment: dedicated human, financial, information technology resources
• Single leader responsible for program implementation and outcomes as well as pharmacist leader
• Tracking antibiotic prescribing and resistance patterns
• Clinician education • Reporting antibiotic prescribing & resistance
information to MDs & other key staff regularly • Implemtation of recommended actions to improve
antibiotic prescribing (e.g., antibiotic time out)
![Page 69: Antimicrobial Resistance in US Healthcare](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060211/629389c853cf485c1f252448/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
