Variability in follow-up strategies for carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative carriers: results from an international scoping survey
Background
Follow-up strategies to confirm loss of carriage of multidrug-resistant bacteria are needed to safely discontinue infection prevention and control measures. There are currently no evidence-based criteria to determine when a carrier of carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative bacteria (CPGN) can be considered free of carriage.
Aim
This study assessed follow-up strategies currently used for known CPGN carriers.
Methods
An online survey was launched via the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) Study Group for Nosocomial Infections (ESGNI) to assess follow-up strategies for carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE), Acinetobacter baumannii (CPAB), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CPPA), from October 2023 to February 2024. The survey consisted of 49 questions concerning follow-up strategies, and criteria for not screening and loss of carriage. Passive follow-up was defined as screening on occasions whereas active follow-up was prospectively planned. Descriptive analyses were performed.
Findings
One hundred and thirty-four respondents from 21 European and six non-European countries completed the survey. For CPE, more than 80% performed some kind of follow-up whereas 66.4% and 60.4% did so for CPAB and CPPA, respectively, with passive follow-up being most frequent. Passive follow-up was mostly performed when the carrier was newly admitted to hospital. Active follow-up was started within four months after first detection in 84–92%. Both consecutive negative screens and the interval from last detection were the most commonly reported criteria for confirming loss of carriage. However, there were no criteria for loss of carriage in 20–35%.
Conclusion
There is no consensus on the follow-up of CPGN carriers. Evidence-based strategies or consensus are urgently needed to decide when to stop preventive measures.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Hospital Infection is the editorially independent scientific publication of the Healthcare Infection Society. The aim of the Journal is to publish high quality research and information relating to infection prevention and control that is relevant to an international audience.
The Journal welcomes submissions that relate to all aspects of infection prevention and control in healthcare settings. This includes submissions that:
provide new insight into the epidemiology, surveillance, or prevention and control of healthcare-associated infections and antimicrobial resistance in healthcare settings;
provide new insight into cleaning, disinfection and decontamination;
provide new insight into the design of healthcare premises;
describe novel aspects of outbreaks of infection;
throw light on techniques for effective antimicrobial stewardship;
describe novel techniques (laboratory-based or point of care) for the detection of infection or antimicrobial resistance in the healthcare setting, particularly if these can be used to facilitate infection prevention and control;
improve understanding of the motivations of safe healthcare behaviour, or describe techniques for achieving behavioural and cultural change;
improve understanding of the use of IT systems in infection surveillance and prevention and control.
