Definitions
sterilization: use of physical procedures or chemical agents to destroy all microbes, including spores, viruses, fungi
disinfection: use of physical procedures or chemical agents to destroy most microbes– high, intermediate, low level
antisepsis: use of chemical agents on skin or other tissue to inhibit or kill microbes

Nosocomial Infections Infection acquired in the hospital: > 48 hours
after admission$5 billion annually: increased hospital length
of stay, antibiotics, morbidity and mortality related to severity of underlying disease,
immunosuppression, invasive medical interventions
frequently caused by antibiotic-resistant organisms: MRSA, VRE, resistant Gram-negative bacilli, Candida

Patient 1 A 67 yo female with poorly controlled
hypertension was admitted because of a right-sided stroke. She had confusion, limitation of mobility of her left leg, and urinary incontinence. A urinary (Foley) catheter was placed and she was evaluated for rehabilitation.
4 days later she developed a temp to 103º F and blood pressure of 90/60 and was transferred to the ICU. Blood and urine cultures grew resistant Klebsiella.

Nosocomial UTIUp to 25% of hospitalized patients are
catheterized at some time during their hospital stay.
15% colonized (bacteruria)– 5-10% per day of catheterization– 50% after 14 days
Gram-negative bacilli, VRE, Candida – frequent antimicrobial resistance

Antibiotic-ResistantGram-Negative Bacilli increasingly a problem in the ICU: UTI, pneumonia selective pressure from high-level antibiotic usage in
hospital and community E. coli, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Pseudomonas,
Serratia, Acinetobacter resistance to extended spectrum penicillins,
cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, quinolones colonization at multiple body sites: GI, skin, pharynx

Nosocomial UTI Pathogenesisexternal
– most common– colonization of urethral meatus– movement of bacteria along fluid layer
on external catheter surface internal
– colonization of urine in bag, ascend through catheter lumen

Patient 2 A 45 yo male is admitted for community-acquired
pneumonia. He has a long history of iv drug use, but has not used in several years. The intern has difficulty starting a peripheral iv so places a femoral venous catheter. His cough and fever begin to improve.
On hospital day 3 he has fever, chills and a WBC of 18,000. Blood cultures are positive for vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus.

Vascular Device-Associated Bacteremiamajor cause of morbidity and mortality in
hospitalized patients150 million intravascular devices are
purchased by hospitals yearlyestimated 50,000-100,000 intravascular
device- related bacteremias in U.S./year– non-cuffed central venous catheters
account for 90% of vascular catheter-related bacteremias

Patient 3 A 52 yo male is admitted with a severe headache
and is found to have a subarachnoid hemorrhage from a ruptured aneurysm. The neurosurgeons evacuate the hematoma and clip his aneurysm. Post-op he remains on a ventilator.
On hospital day 5 he spikes a fever to 102º F and is noted to have copious secretions from his endotracheal tube. Increasing amounts of inspired O2 are required. Blood and sputum cultures grow highly resistant Enterobacter cloacae.

Patient 4 A 73 yo male is admitted with chest pain and
severe coronary artery disease. He has emergent 3-vessel coronary artery bypass grafting. He recovers fairly well from the surgery but on post-op day 10 develops fever and purulent drainage from the inferior aspect of the wound.
He returns to the operating room for extensive debridement of sternal osteomyelitis. Cultures grow methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

may not become clinically apparent until after discharge
risk may be decreased by appropriately timed pre-operative antibiotics

Puerpural SepsisIgnaz Semmelweis
Ignaz Semmelweis (1847) observed differences in the incidence of puerpural sepsis (group A strep) on 2 different wards
one ward was staffed by obstetricians, medical students: mortality 8%
one ward was staffed by midwives: mortality 2%

Puerpural SepsisIgnaz Semmelweis
Observation #1: lower mortality when students were on vacation
Observation #2: pathologist cut during autopsy developed similar illness
Solution: HAND HYGIENE in the autopsy room prevented transmission of organisms to the delivery suite
