- W4361214147 abstract "Abstract Background Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are often caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria contaminating hospital environments which can cause outbreaks as well as sporadic transmission. Methods This study systematically sampled and utilized standard bacteriological culture methods to determine the numbers and types of MDR Enterococcus faecalis / faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii , Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter species, and Escherichia coli (ESKAPEE) from high-touch environments of five Kenyan hospitals; level 6 and 5 hospitals (A, B, and C), and level 4 hospitals (D and E), in 2018. Six hundred and seventeen high-touch surfaces across six hospital departments; surgical, general, maternity, newborn, outpatient and pediatric were sampled. Results 78/617 (12.6%) of the sampled high-touch surfaces were contaminated with MDR ESKAPEE; A. baumannii , 23/617 (3.7%), K. pneumoniae , 22/617 (3.6%), Enterobacter species, 19/617 (3.1%), methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA), 5/617 (0.8%), E. coli , 5/617 (0.8%), P. aeruginosa , 2/617 (0.3%), and E. faecalis and faecium , 2/617 (0.3%). Items found in patient areas, such as beddings, newborn incubators, baby cots, and sinks were the most frequently contaminated. Level 6 and 5 hospitals, B, 21/122 (17.2%), A, 21/122 (17.2%), and C, 18/136 (13.2%), were more frequently contaminated with MDR ESKAPEE than level 4 hospitals; D, 6/101 (5.9%), and E, 8/131 (6.1%). All the sampled hospital departments were contaminated with MDR ESKAPEE, with high levels observed in newborn, surgical and maternity. All the A. baumannii , Enterobacter species, and K. pneumoniae isolates were non-susceptible to piperacillin, ceftriaxone and cefepime. 22/23 (95.6%) of the A. baumannii isolates were non-susceptible to meropenem. In addition, 5 K. pneumoniae isolates were resistant to all the antibiotics tested except for colistin. Conclusion The presence of MDR ESKAPEE across all the hospitals demonstrated gaps in infection prevention practices (IPCs) that should be addressed. Non-susceptibility to last-line antibiotics such as meropenem threatens the ability to treat infections." @default.
