microbiological monitoring

Antimicrobial resistance and antimicrobial therapy modification during COVID19 pandemic in large tertiary hospital

Objective. assessment of the evolution of the microbiological landscape of the hospital for the period of operation in 2020 into a pandemic of a new coronavirus infection in various departments, including intensive care units; change depending on the results of antibacterial therapy regimens. Materials and Methods. In a retrospective study, conducted from June to December 2020, in a multidisciplinary hospital working with COVID-19 infection, the resistance of isolated strains of microorganisms was analyzed in patients of different age groups.

Local experience of real-time PCR implementation into microbiological monitoring programs

Objective. To study level and structure of microbial colonization in cancer patients before admission to a surgery department using molecular methods. Materials and Methods. The presence of DNA of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, methicillinresistant coagulase-negative staphylococci, Candida albicans/C. glabrata/C. krusei, Acinetobacter baumannii in the clinical specimens and the presence of antimicrobial resistance genes in cultures were detected by multiplex real-time PCR. A total of 741 clinical samples and 313 cultures were studied.

Wound Infections: a Role of Microbiological Monitoring for the Hospital Antimicrobial Policy

During the last 7 years the leading pathogens in the etiology of skin and soft tissue infections in the hospital were Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas аeruginosа. Statistical prognosis does not suggest …
