Control of nosocomial infection with multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii

耐多药鲍曼不动杆菌（MDRA）对许多抗菌素具有耐药性。MDRA感染很难治疗。MDRA污染医院环境，可引起医院感染。济济医科大学附属医院发生院内感染暴发。发现被MDRA污染的物品对控制院内感染具有重要意义。利用医院流行病学检查和细菌学环境调查发现受污染物品。我们开发了一种MDRA选择性培养基，这对研究医院环境中的MDRA污染非常有用。

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.
