Control of nosocomial infection with multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii

多重耐药鲍曼不动杆菌（Acinetobacter baumannii，MST）对多种抗菌药物具有耐药性。很难治疗结核杆菌感染。MDRA污染医院环境，可能导致医院感染。日本自治医科大学附属医院发生了一起院内感染暴发。及时发现被支原体污染的物品，对控制医院内支原体感染具有重要意义。通过医院流行病学检查和细菌学环境调查发现污染物品。我们开发了一种MDRA选择性培养基，这是非常有用的调查医院环境中的微生物污染。

Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDRA) is resistant to many antimicrobials. It is difficult to treat MDRA infection. MDRA contaminates hospital environments, which can cause nosocomial infection. Nosocomial outbreak of MDRA infection occurred at Jichi Medical University Hospital. It is important for the control of nosocomial MDRA infection to find the articles contaminated with MDRA. A hospital epidemiological examination and a bacteriological environmental survey are utilized for finding the contaminated articles. We developed a MDRA-selective medium, which is very useful for investigating MDRA contamination of hospital environments.
