Abstract:

Introduction: Nosocomial sepsis is a common and serious infection of neonates who are admitted in intensive care unit. They lead to significant morbidity and mortality in both developed and resource limited countries. The neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is a suitable environment for disseminating the infections and, hence, needs preventive intervention. The study was carried out to determine the risk factors for nosocomial sepsis in neonatal intensive care unit. Material and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in a seven bedded teaching and referral hospital NICU. All neonates in NICU who did not have any sign of infection at admission and remained hospitalized for at least 48 hours were observed. Nosocomial sepsis was diagnosed according to the CDC criteria. Risk factors for nosocomial sepsis were analyzed with Chi-square test and Logistic regression model. P-value of <0.05 was considered significant. Results: Low birth weight (both preterm and IUGR) and mechanical ventilation were found to be related with nosocomial sepsis. Conclusions: Low birth weight and mechanical ventilation were the most important risk factors fornosocomial sepsis.

Abstract:

Nosocomial sepsis is associated with increased mortality and morbidity including neurodevelopmental impairment and prolonged hospital stay. Prevention of sepsis especially in the preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care unit remains a major challenge. The gastrointestinal tract is an important source of potential pathogens causing nosocomial sepsis as the immature intestinal epithelium can permit translocation of bacteria and yeast. The intestinal tract and its microflora play an important role in the immunity. Altering the gut microflora has been extensively studied for immunomodulation in preterm infants. Probiotics are live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host. Probiotics have been used for prevention and treatment of various medical conditions in children and adults. Studies on probiotics in premature infants have focused on normalizing intestinal flora, improvement in feeding intolerance, prevention of necrotizing enterocolitis and sepsis. In this paper, we discuss the intestinal bacterial colonization pattern; the rational for probiotics and prebiotic therapy with special focus on the prevention of nosocomial sepsis in preterm infants.

Abstract:

Introduction. Acinetobacter baumannii is a pathogen and a major cause of nosocomial infections in the current healthcare system worldwide due to its high resistance to antibiotics, including those considered as a last resort, thus posing threat to severe clinical forms, as well as exhibiting significant economic and clinical impact. Material and methods. A descriptive longitudinal and cross-sectional epidemiological study was carried out based on the model of multidisciplinary care hospitals. Results. The generalized clinical forms of Acinetobacter nosocomial infections predominate in 56.30%, including: pulmonary sepsis – 25.59%, abdominal sepsis – 11.81%, septicemia – 9.45%, wound sepsis– 6.30%, biliary sepsis – 1.97%, and urosepsis – 1.18% of cases. Local infections were found in 16.93% of wound infections and in 14.57% of pneumonia cases. A. baumanii was present in the etiological structure of 98.18% of cases, exhibiting an increased resistance to antibiotics, particularly to monobactams – 100.0%, macrolides – 98.82%, penicillins – 98.08%, cephalosporins – 97.65%, penicillins with beta-lactamase inhibitors – 93.20%, fluoroquinolones – 87.16%, and amphenicols – 84.17% of cases. A. baumanii strains isolated from patients with nosocomial infections were found to be multidrug resistant to antibiotics in 93.08% of cases. Conclusions. Acinetobacter baumannii nosocomial infections represent a major public health issue that requires the implementation of strict surveillance and control strategies, including the rational use of antibiotics.

Abstract:

AbstractObjective:To compare the ability of the Study of the Efficacy of Nosocomial Infection Control (SENIC) and the National Nosocomial Infection Surveillance (NNIS) indices to predict the development of nosocomial sepsis in subjects undergoing surgery.Design:1-year prospective case-control study.Setting:A tertiary-care center in Spain.Patients:Cases were surgical patients with nosocomial sepsis defined using the criteria of the Consensus Conference on Sepsis, identified by daily prospective surveillance.Methods:Controls were randomly selected from the daily list of surgical inpatients. Data were prospectively collected. To determine whether either index added explanatory information to the other, two methods were used. The first method involved computing a set of residuals for both variables. Residuals and primary variables were introduced in logistic regression models. The second method evaluated both indices with the Goodman-Kruskal (G) nonparametric coefficient.Results:99 cases and 97 controls were included. After controlling for confounders, both the SENIC index (P<.001) and the NNIS index (P=.04) showed a significant trend. Residuals of the SENIC index added discriminating ability to the NNIS index, whereas residuals of the NNIS index did not improve the prediction ability of the SENIC index. Similar results were yielded by the G statistic: the SENIC index showed higher predictive power than the NNIS index (G=0.56 vs G=0.41).Conclusions:Both indices performed about equally well for discriminating risk of nosocomial sepsis. The SENIC index had a somewhat better ability than the NNIS index only when the number of discharge diagnoses (not truly a predictive factor) were involved in the calculation of the SENIC index.

Abstract:

Background and objective: Neonatal sepsis is associated with increased mortality and morbidity of newborns. Moreover, inability to tolerate enteral feeding contributes to prolonged hospital stay and nosocomial sepsis. Probiotics confers health benefit to host by altering the gut environment. This study aimed at determining the efficacy of probiotics in reducing nosocomial sepsis and feeding intolerance in hospitalized low birth-weight infants.Methods: A quasi experimental clinical trial to compare between newborn infants getting probiotics along with breast milk (experimental group) with those getting breast milk only (non experimental group). Study was conducted from June to December 2013 with a total of 49 newborns, weighing 1000 to 2000gm.Results: In weight category 1000-1250 gm, 15.8% developed culture proven sepsis in probiotics/experimental group (n=9) and 10.5% in breast milk/non experimental group (n=10); p value was 0.655. Feeding intolerance was developed in 10.6% of the probiotics group and 31.5% of breast milk group, p value was not significant but the mortality was significantly lower among the probiotics group i.e., 5.3% in probiotics group Vs 42.1% in breast milk group (p 0.018). Between weight range of 1250-1500 gm, sepsis and feeding intolerance showed no significant differences (p value 0.305 & 0.305 respectively) but mortality differed significantly (0% probiotics group Vs 20% breast milk group; p 0.043). In weight range 1500-2000 gm, the result was not statistically significant for sepsis (p value 0.292), feeding intolerance (p value 0.292) and mortality (p value 0.292). Mortality was significantly lower in two weight categories (1000-1250 gm & 1250-1500 gm) and hence the overall result showed significant difference in the statistical analysis (p value 0.001).There were no differences either in nosocomial sepsis or feeding intolerance between the probiotics group and the breast milk group.Conclusion: Probiotics does not have any impact in reducing nosocomial infection and feeding intolerance but the use of probiotics seems to reduce mortality especially in the lower weight category.J Bangladesh Coll Phys Surg 2018; 36(2): 48-52

Abstract:

Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a common cause of nosocomial sepsis. There are multiple factors related to the severity of sepsis among these are the presence of virulence genes and the pattern of antibiotics resistance. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of virulence pap gene encoding for pili, hlyA gene encoding for α-hemolysin and cnf1 gene encoding for cytotoxic necrotizing factor 1 among E. coli isolated from children with nosocomial sepsis. Also, to correlate the presence of ESBL and carbapenem resistance with the presence of these genes. The study is a retrospective cross-sectional study included 150 non-duplicate strains of E. coli isolated from blood cultures from children with nosocomial sepsis. The isolated E. coli strains were subjected to antibiotics study by disc diffusion method, detection of extended spectrum lactamase production by double discs diffusion method and determination of resistance to carbapenem by combined tests methods. The detection of virulence genes pap, hylA and cnf-1 were determined by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR). E. coli isolates were classified as ESBL phenotype in 56% of the isolates and carbapenemase producing phenotype in 34.7%. Pap gene, hylA and cnf-1 genes were detected in 30%, 23.3% and 22.7% of the isolated E. coli. The clinic-laboratory study of the virulence genes of E. coli revealed the significant association of pap, hylA and cnf-1genes with prolonged duration of the use of the medical devices (4.3± 2.9 days-P=0.01, 4.5± 2.9 days, P=0.02, 5.2± 3.4 days, P=0.0001 respectively). HylA gene was associated with younger age of the patients (28.4± 4.5, P=0.01). Pap gene was significantly associated with ESBLs and carbapenemase phenotypes (P=0.0001, P=0.002 respectively). On the other hand, cnf-1 was significantly associated with E. coli isolated from primary sepsis (P=0.02) and in isolates from sepsis due to medical devices (P=0.02) and was significantly associated with death (P=0.01) and carbapenemase resistance (P=0.01). The present study highlights the prevalence of pap, hylA and cnf-1 virulence genes among E. coli associated with nosocomial sepsis in children. The frequency of some of these genes was correlated with extended spectrum lactamase resistance and carbapenemase resistance. This may be attributed to the presence of the virulence and antibiotics genes on transferable plasmids. Moreover, there was association with cnf-1 virulence gene and mortality outcome of sepsis. Further studies are recommended to evaluate these findings.

Abstract:

Sepsis is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. It is defined as the presence of a Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, and it represents a significant burden for the healthcare system. This is particularly true when it is diagnosed in the setting of nosocomial infections, which are usually a matter of concern with regard to medical liability being correlated with increasing economic costs and people’s loss of trust in healthcare. Hence, the Italian governance promotes the clinical risk management with the aim of improving the quality and safety of healthcare services. In this context, the role of medico-legal experts working in a hospital setting is fundamental for performing autopsy to diagnose sepsis and link it with possible nosocomial infections. On the other hand, medico-legal experts are party to the clinical risk management assessment, and deal with malpractice cases and therefore contribute to formulating clinical guidelines and procedures for improving patient safety and healthcare providers’ work practices. Due to this scenario, the authors here discuss the role of medico-legal experts in Italy, focusing on sepsis and nosocomial infections.

Abstract:

Due to current increase in the rate of nosocomial infections, our objective was to examine the frequency, risk factors, clinical presentation and etiology of nosocomial infections in patients with central nervous system infections. 2246 patients with central nervous system infections, treated in the intensive care units of the Institute of Infectious and Tropical Diseases, Clinical Center of Serbia in Belgrade and at the Department of Infectious Diseases of the Clinical Hospital Center Kragujevac, were included in this retrospective and prospective study. Clinical manifestations of nosocomial infections were registered in 180 (12.7%) patients. Direct risk factors for nosocomial infections were: venous lines, urinary catheter, length of stay over 20 days, inhibitors of gastric secretion, consciousness disorders and coma, endotracheal intubation, tracheotomy and controlled ventilation for 5 days or more. The most frequent clinical presentations of nosocomial infections were: tract urinary infections, bacteriemia/sepsis and nosocomial pneumonia. Significantly higher frequency of death outcomes was registered in patients with nosocomial infections.

Abstract:

Abstract Nosocomial infections are a serious problem not only in Slovakia but in all countries. The European Commission decided on their standardized surveillance in the whole European Union. According methodology elaborated by experts from the European Centre for Disease Control and Prevention in Stockholm we performed a point prevalence survey in the University Hospital Martin. Our observed prevalence of nosocomial infections in University Hospital Martin within the point prevalence study was 5.2%. The highest point prevalence of nosocomial infections was found at the Surgical Department (9.3%). The most common type of nosocomial infections was urological infections (27.3%), sepsis (22.7%) and surgical site infection (22.7%). The most common microorganisms isolated from the biological material were Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Proteus mirabilis. Appropriate method of nosocomial infections surveillance is monitoring their prevalence in the point prevalence studies. International projects of nosocomial infections in the EU allow to compare the obtained results with other hospitals in the Member States.

Abstract:

Paranasal sinusitis is an important source of sepsis and morbidity in head injury victims and requires aggressive pursuit and therapy. Of 208 head-injured patients, 24 developed paranasal sinusitis. The Glasgow Coma Scale score of the sinusitis patients was 7.1 ± 3.9. Nineteen patients were intubated nasotracheally, and five were intubated orally. Sinus air fluid levels, indicative of bleeding into the sinus, were seen on 17 initial computed tomographic scans. Maxillary sinus suppuration occurred in 23 patients; in 20 it was the initial sinus involved. Twenty-one patients developed polymicrobial sinusitis. Coexisting infections were common. In 15 patients with concurrent tracheobronchitis or pneumonia, organisms identical to those in sinus aspirations were recovered from the sputum. Seven patients had associated bacteremia. Meningitis in six patients shared a common pathogen with their sinusitis. Nonoperative management successfully resolved sinus infection in 19 cases. Five patients required open sinusotomy.

Abstract:

The most significant areas of scientific and practical research in urgent pancreatology of the last decade are the study of the course of necrotic pancreatitis with the evaluation of the effectiveness of antibiotic therapy at different stages of the disease according to microbiological studies, nosocomial infection and the development of sepsis. Purposw of the study. To study the effectiveness of antibacterial therapy in complex treatment of infected forms of necrotizing pancreatitis, depending on the species composition of the infection, the severity of the pathology and the development of sepsis. Materials and methods. The study included 48 patients with infected forms of necrotic pancreatitis over the past two years undergoing treatment at the Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care of Zaporizhzhia 3rd City Clinical Hospital in 2017–2018. Results. Research of the species composition of microorganisms showed that there is predominant gram-negative flora in pancreatogenic infection such as: Pseudomonas aeruginosa – 26,3%, Acinetobacter spp. – 21,1%, the Enterobacteriaceae family: Klebsiella pneumoniae – 10,5% and Escherichia coli – 15,8%. The detected spectrum of microorganisms gives an idea of the main pathogens characteristic of infected forms of necrotizing pancreatitis. Antibiotic sensibility analysis showed that high activity against pathogens was observed in meropenem, taygecycline and tobramycin. In 21% of patients, resistant strains of Ps. Aeruginosa were detected,but in 3 patients there was a positive dynamics in the use of detoxication therapy with inclusion of extracorporal methods (discrete plasmapheresis) in combination with two-component antibiotic therapy (meropenem + linezolid). Conclusion. The analysis of treatment of patients with infected necrotizing pancreatitis and its complication sonthebasis of continuous monitoring of bacterial flora with the provision of adequate antibiotic therapy, prevention of nosocominal infectionand a modern strategy for the use of surgical interventions, especiallynoninvasive, contributes to the reduction of sepsis and, as a result, reduction in mortality and severe postoperative complications. Keywords: necrotizing pancreatitis, combined antibiotic therapy, nosocomial infection, mortality.

Abstract:

AbstractObjective:To evaluate the incidence of nosocomial infection (NI) in pediatric patients who received cardiothoracic surgery and to identify possible associated risk factors.Design:Prospective observational study.Setting:The cardiac surgery and cardiac intensive care units at the Regina Margherita Children's Hospital, Turin, Italy.Patients:All patients who underwent surgery from July 20,1998, to July 19,1999, were enrolled, except patients with operative catheterization only.Methods:Clinical data were collected daily from July 20, 1998, to July 19, 1999. NIs were diagnosed according to US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria.Results:104 patients were included in the present study, 80 (76.9%) of whom underwent extracorporeal circulation. The NI ratio was 48.1% (50/104); the percentage of patients with NI was 30.8% (32/104): 23.1% developed one infection, 7.7% two or more. The rate of NI was 2.17 per 100 days of hospitalization (50/2,304). The most common pathogen wasPseudomonas aeruginosa,Important risk factors were length of preoperative admission >5 days, total length of admission >10 days, open chest during postoperative phase, and cyanotic heart disease. There was a significant association between sepsis and central venous catheterization for 3 days or more. Rate of sepsis was 19 per 1,000 catheter days (16/852).Conclusion:NIs represent a frequent complication for children who undergo heart surgery. Based on our data, we suggest decreasing the preoperative stay as much as possible. The higher NI incidence in patients with an open chest postoperatively suggests that an alternative antibiotic strategy should be considered for these patients.
