- W4386033835 abstract "Carbapenem-resistant bacteria (CRB) pose a major health risk to patients in intensive care units (ICU) across African hospitals. There are hardly any data about the role of hospital sinks as reservoirs of CRB in resource-poor African settings. Furthermore, the specific within-sink location of the highest concentration of pathogens and the role of splash back as a transmission mechanism remains poorly clarified.We swabbed ICU sluice room sinks in a tertiary hospital in Cape Town, South Africa. Swabs were taken from four different parts of the sluice room sinks (tap-opening, trap, below the trap, and u-bend). Dilutions were prepared and plated on carbapenem-infused agar. Colonies were identified and drug resistance profiles were determined using a biochemical analyser. To evaluate the potential transmission from the sink, similar plates were placed at fixed distances from the sink when the tap was turned on and off.CRB were isolated from the trap, water interface below the trap, and the u-bend (the latter harboured the highest density of CRB species). Five CRB, resistant to at least 7 antibiotic classes, were isolated including Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, Citrobacter, Serratia, and Providencia. CRB could be cultured from droplets that fell on agar-containing plates placed at a varying distance from the trap.There is a higher density of CRB in the u-bend of ICU sluice room sinks which can act as a potential source of transmission. The data inform targeted CRB transmission-interruption strategies in resource-poor settings." @default.
