Abstract
Antibiotic-resistant organisms (AROs) are difficult and costly to treat, associated with high mortality rates, and are on the rise. In the United States, there is limited tracking of AROs, which can contribute to transmission and inhibit infection prevention interventions. Surveillance is limited by a lack of standardized methods for colonization screening and limited communication regarding patient ARO-status between healthcare settings. Some regional surveillance and reporting efforts are in place for extensively-resistant AROs such as carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE), but need to be further expanded nationwide and to include other AROs such as extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing organisms. Increased surveillance of ARO infections and colonization will inform future targeted intervention and infection prevention strategies.
期刊介绍：
The Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine (YJBM) is a graduate and medical student-run, peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to the publication of original research articles, scientific reviews, articles on medical history, personal perspectives on medicine, policy analyses, case reports, and symposia related to biomedical matters. YJBM is published quarterly and aims to publish articles of interest to both physicians and scientists. YJBM is and has been an internationally distributed journal with a long history of landmark articles. Our contributors feature a notable list of philosophers, statesmen, scientists, and physicians, including Ernst Cassirer, Harvey Cushing, Rene Dubos, Edward Kennedy, Donald Seldin, and Jack Strominger. Our Editorial Board consists of students and faculty members from Yale School of Medicine and Yale University Graduate School of Arts & Sciences. All manuscripts submitted to YJBM are first evaluated on the basis of scientific quality, originality, appropriateness, contribution to the field, and style. Suitable manuscripts are then subject to rigorous, fair, and rapid peer review.
