Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria in the Community

Open access
van Duin, David, Paterson, David L.·2016·Infectious Disease Clinics of North America

Abstract

Multidrug resistant (MDR) bacteria are one of the most important current threats to public health. Typically, MDR bacteria are associated with nosocomial infections. However, some MDR bacteria have become quite prevalent causes of community-acquired infections. The spread of MDR bacteria into the community is a crucial development, and is associated with increased morbidity, mortality, healthcare costs and antibiotic use. Factors associated with community dissemination of MDR bacteria overlap but are distinct from those associated with nosocomial spread. Community-associated (CA) MDR bacteria have an antibiotic resistance phenotype that is stable in the absence of antibiotic pressure of the type normally observed in hospitals or nursing homes. An exception to this rule may be those CA-MDR bacteria, of which the prevalence is driven by the presence of antibiotics in the food chain. Additionally, the colonization of otherwise healthy hosts is a common characteristic of CA-MDR bacteria. However, subtle immune deficiencies may still be present in the subjects colonized with specific CA-MDR bacteria. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) is the most prevalent of CA-MDR bacteria. CA-MRSA also has the greatest impact on morbidity and mortality. The main threat on the horizon is represented by Enterobacteriaceae. The production of extended spectrum β-lactamases in Enterobacteriaceae encountered in the community is becoming increasingly prevalent. Of great concern is the potential for the acquisition of carbapenemase genes in CA-Enterobacteriaceae. Prevention of further community spread of MDR bacteria is of the utmost importance, and will require a multi-disciplinary approach involving all stakeholders.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
