Abstract

Forearms and hands of 100 staff from five nursing homes were sampled on breakroom entry or end-of-shift. Twenty (20%) were multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO)-positive (90% methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). Recent high contact resident-care activities were associated with contamination (OR = 9.1 (1.1-74.2), P = .04). Enhanced barrier precautions and hand hygiene are important to prevent staff MDRO acquisition.

多药耐药菌（MDRO）污染养老院工作人员的手和前臂时，进入休息室或回家。

来自5家养老院的100名员工在进入休息室或下班时进行了前臂和手的采样。20例（20%）为多药耐药菌（MDRO）阳性（90%为耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌）。近期高接触居民护理活动与污染相关（OR = 9.1 (1.1-74.2), P = 0.04）。加强屏障预防措施和手卫生对于防止工作人员感染MDRO非常重要。
