Treatment for bacteraemia due to Staphylococcus aureus (protocol). Cochrane database of systematic reviews 2009; (1): 1-9. Mots-clés : BACTERIEMIE; STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS; BIBLIOGRAPHIE; METHODOLOGIE; METICILLINO-RESISTANCE This is the protocol for a review and there is no abstract. The objectives are as follows : We will review clinical trials evidence for patients with bacteraemia with Staphylococcus aureus. The specific questions to be addressed are : - For bacteraemia due to methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA), what is the most effective antibiotic? - For bacteraemia due to methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), what is the most effective antibiotic? - For uncomplicated bacteraemia due to S. aureus, what is the appropriate duration of therapy? NosoBase n° 24882 Morbidité associée aux bactériémies à Pseudomonas aeruginosa Scheetz MH; Hoffman M; Bolon MK; Schulert G; Estrellado W; Baraboutis IG; et al. Morbidity associated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa bloodstream infections. Diagnostic microbiology and infectious disease 2009/07; 64(3): 311-319. Mots-clés : MORBIDITE; PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA; BACTERIEMIE; MICROBIOLOGIE; MORTALITE; FACTEUR DE RISQUE We sought to quantify patient morbidity throughout Pseudomonas aeruginosa bloodstream infection (PABSI) as a function of patient covariates. Individuals with PABSI were included in a retrospective, observational, cohort study. Morbidity was quantified by serial Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores. Impact of active antimicrobial treatment was assessed as a function of changes in SOFA scores as the dependent variable. A total of 95 patients with PABSI were analyzed. Relative to baseline SOFA scores (day -2), scores after PABSI were increased by 37% on day 0 and 22% on day +2 but returned to baseline on day +7. Overall mortality was 37%, and mean length of hospital stay (postculture) was 16 days. Most patients were appropriately treated, with n = 83 (87%) receiving an active agent and n = 61 (64%) receiving >1 agent. As a result, an effect of therapy on morbidity was not observed. Advanced age and elevated baseline SOFA scores predicted increased in-hospital mortality (P = 0.01 and P < 0.001, respectively) and morbidity at day +2 (P < 0.05 and P < 0.05, respectively) and day +7 (P < 0.05 and P < 0.001, respectively). Neutropenia was also associated with increased morbidity at day +2 (P < 0.05). In treated PABSI, morbidity is highest the day of the diagnostic blood cultures and slowly returns to baseline over the subsequent 7 days. Age and baseline severity of illness are the strongest predictors of morbidity and mortality. Because neither of these factors are modifiable, efforts to minimize the negative impact of PABSI should focus on appropriate prevention and infection control efforts. Biofilm NosoBase n° 24884 L'augmentation de l'importance des matériaux prévenant antimicrobien du matériel médical contenant de l'argent l'adhésion microbienne : effet Monteiro DR; Gorup LF; Takamiya AS; Ruvollo-Filho AC; De Camargo ER; Barros Barbosa D. The growing importance of materials that prevent microbial adhesion: antimicrobial effect of medical devices containing silver. International journal of antimicrobial agents 2009/08; 34(2): 103-110. Mots-clés : PREVENTION; MATERIAU; MATERIEL MEDICO-CHIRURGICAL; BIOFILM; ARGENT Research has clarified the properties required for polymers that resist bacterial colonisation for use in medical devices. The increase in antibiotic-resistant microorganisms has prompted interest in the use of silver as an antimicrobial agent. Silver-based polymers can protect the inner and outer surfaces of devices against the attachment of microorganisms. Thus, this review focuses on the mechanisms of various silver forms as antimicrobial agents against different microorganisms and biofilms as well as the dissociation of CCLIN Sud-Est – [email protected] 2 / 23 NosoVeille – Bulletin de veille août 2009 silver ions and the resulting reduction in antimicrobial efficacy for medical devices. This work suggests that the characteristics of released silver ions depend on the nature of the silver antimicrobial used and the polymer matrix. In addition, the elementary silver, silver zeolite and silver nanoparticles, used in polymers or as coatings could be used as antimicrobial biomaterials for a variety of promising applications.

Bouza E; Guembe M; Gomez H; Martin-Rabadan P; Rivera M; Alcala L. Are central venous catheter tip cultures reliable after 6-day refrigeration? Diagnostic microbiology and infectious disease 2009/07; 64(3): 241-246 Mots-clés : CATHETER VEINEUX CENTRAL; CATHETER; PRELEVEMENT; HEMOCULTURE Present guidelines recommend culturing only central venous catheter (CVC) tips from patients with suspected catheter-related bloodstream infection (CR-BSI). However, a high proportion of these suspicions are not confirmed. Moreover, CVC tip culture increases laboratory workload, and reports of colonization may be meaningless or misleading for the clinician. Our working hypothesis was that CVC tips should be refrigerated and cultured only in patients with positive blood cultures. We evaluated the effect of 6-day refrigeration of 215 CVC tips. We selected all the catheters with a significant count according to the Maki's roll-plate technique and randomly assigned them to 2 groups. In group A, the catheters were recultured after 24 h of refrigeration, and in group B, the catheters were recultured after 6 days more of refrigeration, so that the refrigeration time evaluated would be of 6 days. The yield of refrigerated CVC tips that grow significant colony counts of primary culture in group B was compared with the yield of refrigerated catheter tips in group A. The difference showed that 6-day refrigeration reduced the number of significant CVCs by 15.2%. Only 61 CVCs were obtained from patients with CR-BSI, and in most of them, blood cultures were already positive before CVC culture, so only 0.91% of the CR-BSI episodes would have been misdiagnosed as culture negative after refrigeration. Refrigeration of CVC tips sent for culture and culturing only those from patients with positive blood cultures reduce the workload in the microbiology laboratory without misdiagnosing CR-BSI.

An efficient strategy to decrease the central venous catheter-related adverse events rate in haemodialysis patients. Nephrologie et therapeutique 2009/07; 5(4): 280-286 Mots-clés : CATHETER VEINEUX CENTRAL; FISTULE; BACTERIEMIE; HEMODIALYSE; COMPLICATION; INCIDENCE; PREVALENCE; CHLORHEXIDINE Introduction : Les complications liées aux cathéters veineux centraux (CVC) restent une des causes principales de morbidité et de mortalité des patients hémodialysés (HD). Objectif : Dans une population d'HD d'un même centre à dix ans d'intervalle, comparer la prevalence des CVC tunnelisés et l'incidence de leurs complications. Méthodes : De 1994 à 1997 (période 1) et de 2004 à CCLIN Sud-Est – [email protected] 3 / 23 NosoVeille – Bulletin de veille août 2009 2007 (période 2), nous avons suivi tous les CVC et leurs complications : les bactériémies (BLC), les infections locales (ILC), les dysfonctions, la consommation de thrombolytiques et les arrachements partiels ou totaux. Résultats : Les PermCath (PC, Quinton, n = 63) et les TwinCath (TC, MedComp, n = 76) étaient utilisés dans la période 1 chez 95 HD, les split-cathéters (ASPC, MedComp, n = 52) et les BioFlex (MedComp, n = 46) dans la période 2 chez 72 HD. La désinfection utilisait la povidone iodée (période 1) puis la chlorexidine alcoolique (période 2). La prévalence des CVC a diminué de 15-18 % à 9-6 %, l.incidence des BLC de 1,1 à 0,23 par 1000 jours-cathéter ( p < 0,001), celle des ILC de 1,1 a 0,28 par 1000 jours-cathéter ( p < 0,001), le pourcentage de dysfonctions de 12 à 1,2 % ( p < 0,001) et celui des arrachements de 4 à 0 %. La consommation de thrombolytiques a diminué de trois à un flacon par CVC et par an. Conclusion : En dix ans, notre stratégie a permis de diminuer la prévalence de CVC de - 50 % et l'incidence des complications de CVC de - 200 %. Les changements de protocole de désinfection et l'utilisation de CVC plus récents ont été efficaces pour diminuer les complications infectieuses et mécaniques des CVC. NosoBase n° 24632 Prévention des infections associées aux cathéters veineux centraux dans les unités de réanimation pédiatrique : un projet collaboratif pour l'amélioration des performances Jeffries HE; Mason W; Brewer M; Oakes KL; Munoz EI Gornick W; et al. Prevention of central venous catheter-associated bloodstream infections in pediatric intensive care units: a performance improvement collaborative. Infection control and hospital epidemiology 2009/07; 30(7): 645-651. Mots-clés : PREVENTION; CATHETER VEINEUX CENTRAL; PEDIATRIE; SOIN INTENSIF; INFECTION; BACTERIEMIE; COUT Objective: The goal of this effort was to reduce central venous catheter (CVC)-associated bloodstream infections (BSIs) in pediatric intensive care unit (ICU) patients by means of a multicenter evidence-based intervention. Methods: An observational study was conducted in 26 freestanding children's hospitals with pediatric or cardiac ICUs that joined a Child Health Corporation of America collaborative. CVC-associated BSI protocols were implemented using a collaborative process that included catheter insertion and maintenance bundles, daily review of CVC necessity, and daily goals. The primary goal was either a 50% reduction in the CVCassociated BSI rate or a rate of 1.5 CVC-associated BSIs per 1,000 CVC-days in each ICU at the end of a 9-month improvement period. A 12-month sustain period followed the initial improvement period, with the primary goal of maintaining the improvements achieved. Results: The collaborative median CVC-associated BSI rate decreased from 6.3 CVC-associated BSIs per 1,000 CVC-days at the start of the collaborative to 4.3 CVC-associated BSIs per 1,000 CVC-days at the end of the collaborative. Sixty-five percent of all participants documented a decrease in their CVC-associated BSI rate. Sixty-nine CVC-associated BSIs were prevented across all teams, with an estimated cost avoidance of $2.9 million. Hospitals were able to sustain their improvements during a 12-month sustain period and prevent another 198 infections. Conclusions: We conclude that our collaborative quality improvement project demonstrated that significant reduction in CVC-associated BSI rates and related costs can be realized by means of evidence-based prevention interventions, enhanced communication among caregivers, standardization of CVC insertion and maintenance processes, enhanced measurement, and empowerment of team members to enforce adherence to best practices.

Analysis of an outbreak of Clostridium difficile infection controlled with enhanced infection control measures. American journal of infection control 2009/08; 37(6): 458-464. Mots-clés : CLOSTRIDIUM DIFFICILE; EPIDEMIE; PREVENTION; ANTIBIOTIQUE Background : In October 2004, our Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) rate increased (relative risk, 3.51; 95% confidence interval: 2.96-4.16) from a baseline rate of 1.35 per 1000 patient-days. We describe the outbreak, the relationship between antibiotic use and CDI, and the effect of enhanced infection control measures (EICM) on CDI. Methods : Rates were calculated as positive C difficile toxin A or B tests among patients with nosocomial diarrhea per 1000 patient-days (duplicates removed). Antibiotic use was calculated as defined daily dose per 1000 patient-days. EICM consisted of (1) placing patients with diarrhea into empiric Contact Precautions, (2) cleaning with a bleach product in areas with CDI patients, and (3) requiring soap and water hand hygiene when caring for CDI patients. CDI rates were analyzed by chi(2) for trend. Time series methodology was used to examine the association between CDI and antibiotic use. Results: During the outbreak (October 2004-May 2005), we observed 144 excess cases of CDI. The CDI rate decreased after EICM were implemented (P < .0001) and has been maintained for 36 months beyond the outbreak. Multivariate analysis revealed positive associations between CDI rates and cefazolin use (P = .008) and levofloxacin/gatifloxacin use (P = .015). Conclusion: Despite an association between some antibiotic use and CDI rates, we achieved sustained control of an outbreak using EICM without formulary changes or new antibiotic control policies. This suggests that patient-to-patient spread may be a more important cause of increased CDI rates.

Microbial contamination of computer keyboards in a university setting. American journal of infection control 2009/08; 37(6): 507-509. Mots-clés : CONTAMINATION; INFORMATIQUE; ORDINATEUR; CLAVIER The keyboards of multiple-user (student) and single-user (staff) computers located on a university campus were sampled to assess microbial contamination. The average number of microorganisms present on multiple-user computer keyboards was significantly greater than on single-user keyboards, and the number of keyboards harboring potential pathogens was also greater for multiple-user computers. It is recommended that regular cleaning and disinfection of computers be used to reduce the microbial load, especially for multiple-user workstations.

Mots-clés : BRULE; EAU; BIBLIOGRAPHIE; STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS; STREPTOCOCCUS; PSEUDOMONAS; BACILLUS; CONTAMINATION First-aid education for the management of burns advocates cool running water over burnt skin to limit soft tissue damage. However, the water used may itself constitute a risk. We report three cases of severe invasive and necrotizing infection in patients who used or immersed themselves in contaminated water in an attempt to extinguish the fire following acute major burns. Wound cultures from all patients yielded Aeromonas hydrophila and two yielded Bacillus cereus. One patient had a complex polymicrobial infection, including zygomycosis with Rhizomucor variabilis. All patients were treated aggressively with wound débridement, including one patient who required bilateral lower limb amputations to control progressive infection. All infections were successfully treated and all patients survived their burn injuries. We review the management of burns complicated by exposure to contaminated water leading to burn wound infections. We describe commonly reported organisms from various water sources, the appropriate initial empirical antimicrobial chemotherapy and present the clinician with a proposed algorithm for managing these serious infections.

Mots-clés : EPIDEMIE; LISTERIA MONOCYTOGENES; ALIMENTATION; CANCEROLOGIE; INVESTIGATION In May 2003, two adult patients in an oncology unit were diagnosed with listeriosis, and sandwiches consumed in the hospital were identified as a common risk factor. Both patients were infected by the same strain of Listeria monocytogenes. Sandwiches collected from the hospital and external sandwich producer, as well as sites within the manufacturing environment, were contaminated by the same strain of L. monocytogenes. Sandwiches consumed in other hospitals have been associated with small clusters of listeriosis patients in the UK. This report describes the investigations following diagnosis of the two infections, and highlights a more general problem with sandwiches sold in hospitals Généralités NosoBase n° 24833 Les états généraux des infections nosocomiales.

CCLIN Sud-Est – [email protected] 7 / 23 NosoVeille – Bulletin de veille août 2009 L’évolution. Les états généraux des infections nosocomiales tenus en février 2009 s’inscrivent dans un contexte évolutif. Au-delà de la définition épidémiologique stricte de l’infection nosocomiale, acquise à l’hôpital, aujourd’hui la multiplication des parcours de soins, le nombre des intervenants dans la dispensation des soins, la diversité des structures imposent une approche élargie de la prise en charge des infections associées aux soins (IAS). Selon ce terme dont la définition est reconnue en 2007 par le ministère de la Santé, le critère principal définissant l’IAS est l’événement infectieux survenant « par la délivrance d’un acte ou d’une prise en charge de soins au sens large (à visée diagnostique, thérapeutique, de dépistage ou de prévention) par un professionnel de santé. La lutte sur le terrain. Le risque infectieux s’est considérablement élargi et fait l’objet de présentations des disciplines concernées, des modalités et de la diversité du risque infectieux. À cet égard, le concept d’infection nosocomiale acquise en ville s’impose : fréquence du portage bactérien manuel, matériel en contact avec le patient. Conclusion. L’actualisation du cadre des IAS aura pour objectifs une surveillance épidémiologique élargie, une information précise largement diffusée et la prévention du risque infectieux par le personnel de santé dans tous les systèmes de soins.

Mots-clés : VACCIN; GRIPPE; PERSONNEL; PREVENTION; TAUX; FORMATION Objective: As healthcare personnel (HCP) influenza vaccination becomes a quality indicator for healthcare facilities, effective interventions are needed. This study was designed to test a factorial design to improve HCP vaccination rates. Design: A before-after trial with education, publicity, and free and easily accessible influenza vaccines used a factorial design to determine the effect of mobile vaccination carts and incentives CCLIN Sud-Est – [email protected] 9 / 23 NosoVeille – Bulletin de veille août 2009 on vaccination rates of HCP, who were divided into groups on the basis of their level of patient contact (ie, business and/or administrative role, indirect patient contact, and direct patient contact). Setting: Eleven acute care facilities in a large health system. Participants: More than 26,000 nonphysician employees. Results: Influenza vaccination rates increased significantly in most facilities and increased system-wide from 32.4% to 39.6% (P<.001). In the baseline year, business unit employee vaccination rates were significantly higher than among HCP with patient contact; rates did not differ significantly across groups in the intervention year. In logistic regression that accounted for demographic characteristics, intervention year, and other factors, the use of incentives and/or mobile carts that provided access to vaccine at the work unit significantly increased the likelihood of vaccination among HCP with direct and indirect patient contact, compared with control sites. Conclusions: Interventions to improve vaccination rates are differentially effective among HCP with varying levels of patient contact. Mobile carts appear to remove access barriers, whereas incentives may motivate HCP to be vaccinated. Education and publicity may be sufficient for workers in business or administrative positions. Interventions tailored by worker type are likely to be most successful for improving HCP vaccination rates.

Partnering with nursing service improves health care worker influenza vaccination rates. American journal of infection control 2009/08; 37(6): 484-489. Mots-clés : VACCIN; GRIPPE; PERSONNEL; COUT; INFIRMIER; ENQUETE Background : Increasing the influenza vaccination rate in health care workers (HCWs) promotes patient safety as well as employee health. The average HCW influenza vaccination rate is approximately 35%. Various studies have analyzed the reasons for the low vaccination rate in HCWs and developed strategies aimed at increasing this rate. Methods : At the study hospital, the Nursing Department was contacted to recruit influenza (flu) coordinators from the various hospital departments to coordinate administration of influenza vaccinations in their respective departments, with the aim of increasing HCW vaccination rates. The flu coordinators received education about the influenza vaccine along with lists of employees, vaccination supplies, and consent/declination forms. Each flu coordinator was responsible for contacting the employees in his or her department/unit. Both consent and declination responses were documented. Results : Of the hospital's 3238 employees (including physicians), a total of 2534 were contacted (78%). of these, 2008 consented to receive the influenza vaccine and 526 declined. This represented a 37% increase in the total number of HCWs contacted and a 20% increase in vaccine recipients over the previous influenza season. Conclusions : Partnering with the Nursing Department increased the accessibility to and acceptance of influenza vaccination among HCWs. The HCWs reported positive experiences about receiving the vaccine in the work environment.

Microbiological efficacy and tolerability of a new, non-alcohol-based hand disinfectant. Infection control and hospital epidemiology 2009/07; 30(7): 685-690. Mots-clés : DESINFECTANT; MICROBIOLOGIE; MAIN; EAU; NORME; QUESTIONNAIRE; TOLERANCE Objective: Alcohol-based hand disinfectants are widely used in hospitals. Occasionally, there is a need for non-alcohol-based products, but alternatives have been scarce. We studied the microbiological efficacy and tolerability of a water-based hand disinfectant for healthcare workers. Design: A water-based hand disinfectant was introduced as the only hand disinfectant in 5 wards in Turku University Hospital, Finland. Ninety-nine healthcare workers participated in fingerprint sampling during the 7week study period. In another ward, 26 healthcare workers who were using alcohol-based hand disinfectant CCLIN Sud-Est – [email protected] 10 / 23 NosoVeille – Bulletin de veille août 2009 acted as control subjects for the skin reaction studies. The water-based product was tested in the laboratory according to the European standard EN 12791. We obtained 292 fingerprint samples before disinfection and 302 after disinfection. The opinions of healthcare workers were collected by use of a questionnaire, and skin reactions were assessed subjectively by use of questionnaires and objectively by measuring moisture and transepidermal water loss. Results: When tested in accordance with the European standard, the product met the requirements for short-term and long-term efficacy. The results of the fingerprint test showed that there was a statistically significant decrease in colonization of the fingertips before and after disinfection (P<.001). The users of the water-based hand disinfectant reported dry skin more often than did control subjects, but visual inspection and the results of the moisture measurement showed no difference between the users of the water-based hand disinfectant and the control subjects. Transepidermal water loss measurement also showed no deterioration of skin condition. Conclusions: The water-based hand disinfectant was shown to be an effective hand disinfectant that caused relatively little skin irritation and can serve as a hand hygiene alternative in situations in which alcohol-based disinfectant cannot be used.

Yet good hand hygiene, the simple task of cleaning hands at the right times and in the right way, can save lives. World Health Organization (WHO) has developed evidence-based WHO Guidelines on Hand Hygiene in Health Care to support health-care facilities to improve hand hygiene and thus reduce HCAI. This Guide to Implementation has been developed to assist health-care facilities to implement improvements in hand hygiene in accordance with the WHO Guidelines on Hand Hygiene in Health Care. The strategy described in this Guide to Implementation has been designed to be used by any health-care facility, irrespective of the level of resources or whether the facility has already implemented any hand hygiene initiatives. The approach focuses primarily on improving hand hygiene compliance by health-care workers who work with patients. Through the actions proposed by the strategy, improvement of infrastructures for hand hygiene along with enhancement of knowledge and perception about hand hygiene and HCAI and of the patient safety climate is also meant to be achieved. The ultimate goal is to reduce both the spread of infection and multi-resistant germs as well as the numbers of patients acquiring a preventable HCAI, and thus to prevent waste of resources and save lives.

We sought to determine the proportion of isolates producing ESBLs and the incidence of infection or colonization with these organisms in our tertiary care pediatric facility over 5 years. In addition, we sought to evaluate the characteristics of children affected. Methods: We identified all Escherichia coli or Klebsiella spp cultured from children younger than 18 years of age at our facility between January 2003 and December 2007. Medical records were reviewed for affected children. Results: Of 2697 E coli, K pneumoniae, and K oxytoca cultured, 26 ESBL producers were isolated from 16 children. Rates of ESBL production among cultured isolates significantly increased, from 0.53% in the first half of the study period to 1.4% in the second. Incidence of a primary ESBL infection also increased significantly, from 0.14/10,000 patient encounters to 0.31/10,000. The majority of children infected or colonized with ESBL-producing organisms were those with chronic medical conditions, frequent hospitalizations, or a history of recurrent infection. However, 4 affected children were less than 5 months old and evaluated in an outpatient setting. Conclusion: Rates and incidence of ESBL infection increased over the study period.

Objectives: To describe a transmission of HAdV froma patient with fatal pneumonia to heath-careworkers that could be considered as a model of respiratory virus transmission in a care unit. Study design : Case report with virologic studies. Results: A 10-day-old neonate developed pneumonia with acute respiratory distress, external pulmonary bleeding and coagulopathy and died 36 h after admission of multivisceral failure. An adenovirus was isolated frompulmonary biopsy and detected by PCR in blood and respiratory secretions. Ten days later, three members of medical staff in charge of this infant, who used neither masks nor glasses for close patient contact, developed keratoconjunctivitis. Molecular analysis of the infant.s and one of the pediatrician.s isolates identified a species D HAdv and showed 100% identity, thereby demonstrating viral transmission. Conclusion: In view of the serious outcome, HAdV infections should be considered in the differential diagnosis ofpneumoniain neonates. This case illustrates the epidemicpotential of viruses with respiratory transmission and underlines the importance of complying with standard precautions to prevent viral spread in routine practice.

Mots-clés : ROTAVIRUS; GASTRO-ENTERITE; PEDIATRIE; EPIDEMIOLOGIE Background: Although rotavirus is the most common cause of gastroenteritis worldwide, data regarding nosocomial rotavirus gastroenteritis (NRVGE) are limited. Our objectives were to study the rates, seasonality, epidemiology, and clinical features of NRVGE. Methods: This was a 4-year prospective study. Results: NRVGE occurred in 1% of all admissions (356/35,833), 0.8% of all hospitalization days (1164/145,595) and 0.24 cases per 100 hospitalization days. Rates of NRVGE were age-dependent, occurring in 1.8%, 1.5%, 0.3%, and 0.1% of the admissions of children age # 1, . 1 to 2, . 2 to 5, and . 5 years, respectively (P , .001). Of the children age . 5 years, 90% received immunosuppressive treatment or CCLIN Sud-Est – [email protected] 13 / 23 NosoVeille – Bulletin de veille août 2009 had significant underlying diseases. The number of NRVGE cases was highest in winter months, but it occurred throughout the year, and its percentage of all hospitalizations for rotavirus gastroenteritis was highest in the summer months. NRVGE occurred after a median hospitalization of 6 days, required a median hospital stay of 3 days, and warranted treatment with intravenous fluids in 67% of cases. Conclusion: NRVGE is a significant health burden, especially in children age # 2 years, although it also can affect children age . 5 years with significant underlying disturbances. Vaccine prevention of rotavirus gastroenteritis also could reduce NRVGE and should be considered in cost-effectiveness analyses.

It is of major importance to detect health care workers with HCV infection and to establish regulations how to deal with infected individuals working in specific health care settings. Currently, there are no consistent recommendations, regulations or guidelines concerning prevention of health care worker-to-patient transmission of HCV. Questions arising include: Should health care workers be screened or tested individually on HCV infection and what kind of assay(s) should be used? When and how often should health care workers be tested? How should health care workers with HCV infection be managed? Based on these questions, this article reviews the most relevant published literature. Furthermore, suggestions for establishing a future common regulatory framework are provided.

Le turnover rapide, et donc parfois le manque d’expérience des soignants, les situations d’urgence et la grande diversité des actes effectués sont autant des facteurs expliquant l’augmentation du risque d’AES en réanimation. La pratique de l’hémodialyse, et possiblement de tout autre circulation extracorporelle (CEC), est une situation à risque bien identifiée, en particulier lors du débranchement du circuit en fin de séance.

DESIGN: A prospective study. Setting: "Civili Hospital," Brescia, Italy. Participants: One hundred forty consecutive patients in the CTICU for more than 24 hours from October 1, 2006, to September 30, 2007. Interventions: None. Measurements and main results: Demographic variables and intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors were analyzed with univariate and multivariate analysis. One hundred forty patients were studied, 128 (91.4%) were surgical and 12 (8.5%) were medical. Cumulative incidence of pneumonia was 28.6% (n = 40); 62.5% (n = 25) had ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and 37.5% (n = 15) had non-VAP. The most common isolated pathogens were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n = 15), Staphylococcus aureus (n = 5), Escherichia coli (n = 4), and Klebsiella pneumoniae (n = 3). Mortality was 22.2% (n = 31), with 54.8% (n = 17) of patients with pneumonia leading to mortality during CTICU stay (p = 0.0006). On multivariate analysis, independent risk factors for pneumonia were each point of the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score at CTICU admission (p = 0.006, odds ratio [OR] = 1.39, confidence interval [CI] = 1.09-1.76), every day of mechanical ventilation (p = 0.049, OR = 1.08, CI = 1.00-1.18), noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) (p = 0.014, OR = 4.83, CI = 1.37-17.03), and bronchoscopy (p = 0.002, OR = 8.14, CI = 2.10-31.55). Conclusions: Pneumonia is a common complication in the CTICU, and the authors recommend the following: the removal of the endotracheal tube as soon as possible, the minimal use of a bronchoscope and only in cases of bronchial obstruction, and the use of NIMV.

With regards to the ICU, both the ward environment and susceptible population make the patients particularly vulnerable to a range of infections. The causative organisms are often different to those causing disease in the community, or even for the rest of the hospital. Therefore management of the infected ICU patient is complicated and requires careful consideration. In addition, the emergence of multidrug resistant organisms further complicates treating such patients as they tend to be more susceptible to infections with less physiological reserve and therapeutic options are frequently reduced.

Mots-clés : EAU; SOIN INTENSIF; HEMODIALYSE; BIOFILM L’hémodialyse intermittente reste sous-utilisée en réanimation malgré des résultats cliniques équivalents à l’hémofiltration continue en termes de tolérance hémodynamique ou de mortalité. La qualité de l’eau osmosée produite est un facteur essentiel de la biocompatibilité de l’hémodialyse. La possibilité de rétrodiffusion du dialysat rend impératif le respect de normes physicochimiques et microbiologiques strictes. L’absence de norme spécifique à la réanimation conduit à se référer aux exigences décrites pour la dialyse chronique. La norme française, parfois différente de la pharmacopée européenne, doit être appliquée. Elle décrit également les seuils pour le dialysat ultrapur et le liquide de substitution nécessaires à l’utilisation des techniques d’épuration avec réinjection en ligne. Les appareils de traitement d’eau peuvent être portables ou intégrés dans une boucle d’eau osmosée. Ils comportent, tous, des étapes de préfiltration, d’adoucissement, de filtration et d’osmose inverse. Les générateurs de dialyse modernes doivent intégrer une filtration supplémentaire de l’eau osmosée ou du dialysat produit pour répondre à l’objectif de dialysat ultrapur. Quels que soient les appareils utilisés, ils représentent un assemblage, en série, d’un traitement d’eau de dialyse, d’un générateur et d’un hémodialyseur. Séparément, ces dispositifs permettent d’obtenir les résultats voulus dans le cadre d’une norme CE et d’un usage conforme aux recommandations des constructeurs. La prévention de la formation du biofilm repose sur les étapes successives de rinçage, détartrage et stérilisation qui sont le plus souvent automatisées sur les appareils modernes. Les points faibles de cet assemblage sont donc souvent dans les connexions entre ces appareils et dans le respect des procédures d’entretien spécifiques à chacun des maillons de la chaîne. L’élaboration pluridisciplinaire de règles rigoureuses d’usage, de désinfection, d’entretien, de maintenance et de contrôle des dispositifs est indispensable pour la phase de qualification du traitement par dialyse. La collaboration des équipes de réanimation, du service biomédical, de la pharmacie et d’hygiène reste indispensable pour maintenir dans le temps les performances de l’ensemble de la chaîne aboutissant à la dialyse. Les situations de nonconformité doivent être anticipées afin de mener les actions nécessaires rapidement. Il faut insister sur l’utilisation régulière et normalisée de l’ensemble de la chaîne de dialyse car c’est elle qui permet d’obtenir une qualité d’eau de dialyse conforme à la biocompatibilité indispensable à l’hémodialyse en réanimation.

De nombreuses études ont montré que, pour certaines procédures, les patients admis dans des hôpitaux à faible volume ou traités par des chirurgiens à faible volume présentaient des résultats plus défavorables (taux de mortalité supérieur, taux de complications accru, réadmissions plus nombreuses, etc.) par rapport aux patients admis dans des hôpitaux à volume élevé ou traités par des chirurgiens ayant un volume d'activité important. A ce jour, seule une poignée d'études belges se sont penchées sur le sujet, probablement en raison de la difficulté d'accès aux données requises. La présente étude est dite de faisabilité et a pour ambition de répondre à trois questions : 1/ Pour quelles procédures chirurgicales l'association entre le volume et les résultats a-t-elle été étudiée dans la littérature ?

Mots-clés : TRANSPLANTATION; SITE OPERATOIRE; INCIDENCE; FACTEUR DE RISQUE; TRANSPLANTATION RENALE; TRANSPLANTATION PANCREATIQUE; MORTALITE A simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation (SPKT) is the best treatment option for type I diabetic patients with advanced chronic renal failure. Infectious complications affect 7-50% of the patients receiving this procedure. We conducted a nested case-control study to assess the risk factors for surgical site infection (SSI) in patients receiving SPKT at our centre between 2000 and 2006. Of the 119 evaluated transplant recipients, 55 (46.2%) developed SSIs and the 30 day mortality was 11.8%. Gram-negative organisms were the predominant organisms isolated from SSIs. After multivariate logistic regression, the variables independently associated with SSI were: acute tubular necrosis, post-transplant fistula and graft rejection. This study demonstrated a high incidence of SSI in this patient cohort and variables related to the surgical procedure were closely associated with the development of SSI.

Timing of antimicrobial prophylaxis and the risk of surgical site infections. Results from the trial to reduce antimicrobial prophylaxis errors. Annals of surgery 2009/07; 250(1): 10-16. Mots-clés : ANTIBIOPROPHYLAXIE; SITE OPERATOIRE; RISQUE Objective: The objective of this study is to determine the optimal timing for surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis (AMP). Summary background data: National AMP guidelines should be supported by evidence from large contemporary data sets. Methods: Twenty-nine hospitals prospectively obtained information on AMP from 4472 randomly selected cardiac, hip/knee arthroplasty, and hysterectomy cases. Surgical site infections (SSIs) were ascertained through routine surveillance, using National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance system methodology. The association between the prophylaxis timing and the occurrence of SSI was assessed using conditional logistic regression (conditioning on hospital). Results: One-hundred thirteen SSI were detected in 109 patients. SSI risk increased incrementally as the interval of time between antibiotic infusion and the incision increased (overall association between timing and infection risk P = 0.04). When antibiotics requiring long infusion times (vancomycin and fluoroquinolones) were excluded, the infection risk following administration of antibiotic within 30 minutes prior to incision was 1.6% compared with 2.4% associated with administration of antibiotic between 31 to 60 CCLIN Sud-Est – [email protected] 18 / 23 NosoVeille – Bulletin de veille août 2009 minutes prior to surgery (OR: 1.74; 95% confidence interval, 0.98-3.04). The infection risk increased as the time interval between preoperative antibiotic and incision increased or if the antibiotic was first infused after incision. Intraoperative redosing (performed in only 21% of long operations) appeared to reduce SSI risk in operations lasting more than 4 hours (OR of 3.08 with no redosing; 95% confidence interval 0.74-12.90), but only when the preoperative dose was given correctly. Conclusions: These data from a large multicenter collaborative study confirm and extend previous observations and show a consistent relationship between the timing of AMP and SSI risk with a trend toward lower risk occurring when AMP with cephalosporins and other antibiotics with short infusion times were given within 30 minutes prior to incision. NosoBase n° 24758 La chirurgie laparoscopique diminue significativement les infections du site opératoire comparée à la chirurgie ouverte Varela JE; Wilson SE; Nguyen NT. Laparoscopic surgery significantly reduces surgical-site infections compared with open surgery Surgical endoscopy. 2009 in press :7 pages Mots-clés : CHIRURGIE; SITE OPERATOIRE; INCIDENCE; COUT; DUREE DE SEJOUR; MORBIDITE; LAPAROSCOPIE Background: Surgical-site infections (SSIs) are nosocomial infectious complications causing significant morbidity, mortality, and hospital costs. Recently, the US Department of Human Health Services and the Centers for Medicare and Medicare Services outlined measures intended to decrease and prevent hospitalacquired infections such as SSI. This study aimed to compare the incidence of SSI after laparoscopic and open surgery. Methods: A retrospective analysis of a large administrative, clinical, and financial database (University Health System Consortium) of US Academic Medical Centers and affiliated community hospitals was conducted. Patients who underwent laparoscopic (n = 94,665) or open (n = 36,965) appendectomy, cholecystectomy, antireflux surgery, or gastric bypass between 2004 and 2008 were included in the analysis. The main outcome measure was inpatient diagnosis of SSI after laparoscopic and open surgery. Results: During the 45-month study period, a total of 131,630 patients underwent one of four selected procedures. Overall, the incidence of SSI was significantly lower in laparoscopic (483 of 94,665, 0.5%) than in open (669 of 36,965, 1.8%) surgery (p<0.01). Largely, laparoscopic techniques offered a protective effect against SSI (odds ratio [OR], 0.28; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.25-0.31). Patients treated with laparoscopy were 72% less likely to experience an SSI. This protective effect was shown to be sustained after stratification by severity of illness (minor: OR, 0.19; 95% CI, 0.14-0.26; moderate: OR, 0.30; 95% CI, 0.25-0.35; major/extreme: OR, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.54-0.79), admission status (elective: OR, 0.25; 95% CI, 0.200.31; urgent: OR, 0.38; 95% CI, 0.28-0.53; emergent: OR,0.29; 95% CI, 0.25-0.34), and wound classification (dirty wounds: OR, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.37-0.54). Conclusions : In US academic medical centers, laparoscopy significantly reduces SSI. Patients treated with laparoscopic procedures are less likely to experience SSI. After stratification by severity of illness, admission status, and wound classification, laparoscopic techniques showed a protective effect against SSI. Staphylococcus aureus NosoBase n° 24631 Bactériémies pédiatriques et néonatales à Staphylococcus aureus : épidémiologie, facteurs de risque et issue Burke RE; Halpern MS; Baron EJ; Gutierrez K. Pediatric and neonatal Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia: epidemiology, risk factors, and outcome. Infection control and hospital epidemiology 2009/07; 30(7): 636644. Mots-clés : PEDIATRIE; NEONATALOGIE; PREVALENCE; ETUDE RETROSPECTIVE; STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS; BACTERIEMIE; EPIDEMIOLOGIE; FACTEUR DE RISQUE Objective: To evaluate the impact of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus on the prevalence of S. aureus bloodstream infection among children. CCLIN Sud-Est – [email protected] 19 / 23 NosoVeille – Bulletin de veille août 2009 Methods: Retrospective analysis of demographic data, risk factors for infection, and clinical outcomes for children (age, less than 18 years) with S. aureus bacteremia hospitalized at a children's hospital during 2001-2006. Results: We identified 164 episodes of S. aureus bacteremia among 151 children. The prevalence of bacteremia due to methicillin-susceptible S. aureus during 2001-2003 was approximately the same as that during 2004-2006 (29 and 30 cases, respectively, per 10,000 hospitalized children [hereafter, "per 10,000 hospitalizations"]), but the prevalence of bacteremia due to methicillin-resistant S. aureus increased from 4 to 11 cases, respectively, per 10,000 hospitalizations (P=.015). A total of 48% of infections involved children who had S. aureus-positive blood cultures less than 3 days after hospital admission. Seventy-four percent of these children had a preexisting comorbidity. When the prevalence of S. aureus bacteremia was stratified by race, sex, or age, neonates hospitalized at birth and Hispanic children had significantly reduced risks of infection. Children younger than 1 year of age (excluding neonates hospitalized at birth) had an increased prevalence of hospital-onset S. aureus bacteremia. There was a disproportionate increase in the risk of S. aureus bacteremia for each additional week of hospitalization among children with hospital-onset S. aureus bacteremia. Children with methicillin-resistant S. aureus bacteremia had a longer hospital stay, were transferred to another facility at a greater rate than they were discharged home, and had a greater mortality rate, compared with children with methicillin-susceptible S. aureus bacteremia. Conclusion: This study documents the prevalence of S. aureus bacteremia among children with a high risk for acquiring this infection, and it describes populations of children who are at higher risk for bacteremia due to either methicillin-susceptible or methicillin-resistant S. aureus. Methods to improve prevention of S. aureus bacteremia are needed for children with healthcare-associated risk factors for S. aureus bacteremia.

Evaluation of the bactericidal efficacy of three different alcohol hand rubs against 57 clinical isolates of S. aureus. The Journal of hospital infection 2009/08; 72(4): 319-325. Mots-clés : STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS; SOLUTION HYDRO-ALCOOLIQUE; BACTERICIDIE; OBSERVANCE We tested the efficacy of three alcohol hand rubs (AHRs) used in two local Welsh intensive therapy units (ITUs) against Staphylococcus aureus. The test protocol was based on a carrier test and parameters (concentration, contact time) were chosen following observation of hand-sanitising practices in the ITUs. Following AHR exposure, surviving bacteria were enumerated using a standard plate count method plus a Bioscreen C Microbial Growth Analyser. The AHRs demonstrated variable efficacy against the clinical isolates: the mean log(10) reduction after 10 s exposure to Soft Care Med H5, Cutan and Guest Medical AHRs was 2.67, 0.696 and 1.96, respectively, and after 30 s exposure was 4.58, 1.74 and 3.60, respectively. Since the average time taken by healthcare workers (HCWs) to rub AHR onto their hands was 11 s and 15 s at the two hospitals, the efficacy of these AHRs may be significantly limited against the S. aureus isolates under the conditions observed in practice. In addition, differences observed in log(10) reduction in bacterial number post-exposure using the Bioscreen compared to the plate count method provided evidence that S. aureus may be able to recover following Guest Medical AHR treatment within 2 min exposure, whereas after 5 min exposure bacterial damage caused by the AHR was irreversible. Although the introduction of AHRs improved hand hygiene compliance among HCWs, our observations highlighted that contact time is an important factor to ensure the efficacy of these products NosoBase n° 25037 Staphylococcus aureus sensible et résistant à la méticilline : prévention des infections du site opératoire après chirurgie plastique Elward AM; Mcandrews JM; Leroy Young V.

Staphylococcus aureus is the most common cause of surgical site infections (SSI), with both methicillinsensitive and methicillin-resistant strains causing these infections. The incidence of methicillin-resistant S aureus (MRSA) has increased in the US over the past decade, largely due to the emergence of communityacquired MRSA (CA-MRSA). This article reviews the microbiology and epidemiology of methicillin-sensitive S aureus (MSSA) and MRSA, risk factors for surgical site infections among plastic surgery patients, the evidence supporting preoperative screening and decolonization measures to prevent surgical site infections caused by MRSA, recommendations for anti-microbial prophylaxis, and treatment recommendations for surgical site infections. Other proven methods of reducing SSI, including maintenance of normothermia during surgery, glucose control, cessation of nicotine use, and not shaving the surgical site preoperatively are discussed.

Mots-clés : TRANSMISSION; STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS; METICILLINO-RESISTANCE; PEDIATRIE; WC We studied the bacterial burden on toilet seats in a children's cancer hospital to validate a policy requesting that immunocompromised children use alcohol wipes on the seats prior to use of the toilets. Methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was recovered from 3.3% of hospital toilets when wipes were not in use. Use of wipes resulted in a 50-fold reduction in mean daily bacterial counts and eliminated MRSA.

Mots-clés : RECOMMANDATION; STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS; METICILLINO-RESISTANCE; PREVENTION; CONTROLE; REEDUCATION; TRANSPORT; PRELEVEMENT; DEPISTAGE; INFORMATION L’objectif poursuivi par les présentes recommandations est de réduire au minimum le risque de transmission du SARM (Staphylococcus aureus résistant à la méthicilline) dans les MR (Milieux de réadaptation). Cet objectif se distingue de celui poursuivi dans les CHSLD (Centres Hospitaliers de Soins de Longue Durée), notamment parce que les risques de transmission et d’infections qui caractérisent les clientèles de chacun de ces milieux et l’intensité des traitements qui y sont offerts sont différents. Les présentes recommandations se fondent sur les recommandations et données disponibles dans la littérature ainsi que sur l’avis d’experts, dont des intervenants en MR. Elles tiennent également compte des aspects éthiques liés aux besoins spécifiques des porteurs comme des non porteurs. Elles sont abordées dans l’optique d’un continuum de soins puisque la majeure partie de la clientèle qui requiert des traitements en MR y est CCLIN Sud-Est – [email protected] 21 / 23 NosoVeille – Bulletin de veille août 2009 admise suite à un séjour dans un autre milieu de soins. Ces recommandations s’adressent principalement aux milieux qui offrent des services de réadaptation aux clientèles présentant des déficiences physiques motrices, accompagnées ou non d’autres déficits (ex. : sensoriel, cognitif), c’est-à-dire les milieux suivants : - Centres de réadaptation pour personnes ayant des déficiences physiques - motrices (CRDPM); - Tout autre milieu qui offre des services de réadaptation à l’intérieur des programmes de déficience physique ou de perte d’autonomie, ce qui inclut les unités de réadaptation fonctionnelle intensive (URFI) et la réadaptation gériatrique (CHSGS, CHSLD).

Topical therapy for methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus colonization: impact on infection risk. Infection control and hospital epidemiology 2009/07; 30(7): 623-632. Mots-clés : METICILLINO-RESISTANCE; STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS; COLONISATION; TRAITEMENT; EVALUATION; ETUDE RETROSPECTIVE; CENTRE HOSPITALIER UNIVERSITAIRE; MUPIROCINE; CHLORHEXIDINE; INFECTION; RISQUE Objective: We evaluated the usefulness of topical decolonization therapy for reducing the risk of methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection among MRSA-colonized inpatients. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting and Intervention: Three hospitals with universal surveillance for MRSA; at their physician's discretion, colonized patients could be treated with a 5-day course of nasal mupirocin calcium 2%, twice daily, plus chlorhexidine gluconate 4% every second day. Patients and Methods: MRSA carriers were later retested for colonization (407 subjects; study 1) or followed up for development of MRSA infection (933 subjects; study 2). Multivariable methods were used to determine the impact of decolonization therapy on the risks of sustained colonization (in study 1) and MRSA infection (in study 2). Results: Independent risk factors for sustained colonization included residence in a long-term care facility (odds ratio [OR], 1.8 [95% confidence interval [CI], 1.1-3.2]) and a pressure ulcer (OR, 2.3 [95% CI, 1.24.4]). Mupirocin at any dose decreased this risk, particularly during the 30-60-day period after therapy; mupirocin resistance increased this risk (OR, 4.1 [95% CI, 1.6-10.7]). Over a median follow-up duration of 269 days, 69 (7.4%) of 933 patients developed infection. Independent risk factors for infection were length of stay (hazard ratio [HR], 1.2 per 5 additional days [95% CI, 1.0-1.4]), chronic lung disease (HR, 1.7 [95% CI, 1.0-2.8]), and receipt of non-MRSA-active systemic antimicrobial agents (HR, 1.8 [95% CI, 1.1-3.1]). Receipt of mupirocin did not affect the risk of infection, although there was a trend toward delayed infection among patients receiving mupirocin (median time to infection, 50 vs 15.5 days; P=.06). Conclusions: Mupirocin-based decolonization therapy temporarily reduced the risk of continued colonization but did not decrease the risk of subsequent infection.

Antibacterial effect of essential oils from two medicinal plants against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Phytomedicine 2009; in press: 4 pages. Mots-clés : STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS; METICILLINO-RESISTANCE; PCR; HUILE ESSENTIELLE Antimicrobial properties of plants essential oils (EOs) have been investigated through several observations and clinical studies which purpose them as potential tools to overcome the microbial drug resistance problem. The aim of this research is to study the antibacterial effect of two traditional plants essential oils, Thymus vulgaris and Eucalyptus globulus against clinical isolates of Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and other standard bacterial strains through disk diffusion and agar dilution methods. Gas Chromatography (GC) and Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis examined the chemical composition of the oils. Results revealed both of oils to possess degrees of antibacterial activity against Gram (+) and Gram (-) bacteria. T. vulgaris EO showed better inhibitory effects than E. globulus essential oil. GC analysis of T. vulgaris resulted in thymol as the oil major compound whereas GC/MS assay CCLIN Sud-Est – [email protected] 22 / 23 NosoVeille – Bulletin de veille août 2009 exhibited eucalyptol as the most abundant constitute of E. globulus EO. These results support previous studies on these oils and suggest an additional option to treat MRSA infections. Clinical and further analytical trials of these data are necessary to confirm the obtained outcomes.
