on the medical service (67.9% vs 53.1%; OR, 1.86; 95% CI, 1.09–3.16), and those admitted through the
emergency department (71.6% vs 51.4%; OR, 2.32; 95% CI, 1.24–4.34). Characteristics associated with
increased streamlining included: absence of β-lactam allergy (P<.001), Gram-negative bacteremia (P<.001),
admission through the emergency department (P=.001), and admission to a medical service (P=.011).
Conclusions: Compared with prior authorization, prospective audit increased antimicrobial streamlining for
cases of Gram-negative bacteremia, those admitted through the emergency department, and those admitted
to a medical but not surgical service.

Facteurs de risque associés au portage fécal de Klebsiella pneumoniae productrices de
carbapénèmases : étude cas-témoins dans un centre hospitalier universitaire espagnol

carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae fecal carriage: A case-control study in a Spanish tertiary
care hospital. American journal of infection control 2017/01; 45(1): 77-79.

Asymptomatic colonization of the gastrointestinal tract by carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae is
an important reservoir for transmission that may precede infection. This prospective, observational, case-
control study was designed to identify risk factors for carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae
(CPKP) fecal carriage. This study included 87 cases and 200 controls. Multivariate analysis identified length
of stay (odds ratio [OR], 1.02; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01-1.03; P=.03), previous hospitalization (OR,
5.89; 95% CI, 1.73-20.68; P=.01), antibiotic use (OR, 0.20; 95% CI, 0.65-0.62; P=.01), and corticosteroid use
(OR, 0.33; 95% CI, 0.15-0.74; P=.007) as independent risk factors for CPKP rectal carriage. Length of
hospital stay, previous hospitalization, corticosteroid use, and antimicrobial exposure are important risk
factors for CPKP rectal colonization. Adherence to infection control practices and directed surveillance
programs appear to be critical components for CPKP control programs.

Etat de la prévention des bactéries multirésistantes sur la scène internationale : une enquête du
réseau de recherche de la SHEA (Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America)
Safdar N; Sengupta S; Musuuza J; Juthani-Mehta M; Drees M; Abbo LM; et al. Status of the prevention of
multidrug-resistant organisms in international settings: a survey of the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of
America research network. Infection control and hospital epidemiology 2017/01; 38(1): 53-60.

Objective: To examine self-reported practices and policies to reduce infection and transmission of multidrug-
resistant organisms (MDRO) in healthcare settings outside the United States.
Design: Cross-sectional survey.
Participants: International members of the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) Research
Network.
Methods: Electronic survey of infection control and prevention practices, capabilities, and barriers outside the
United States and Canada. Participants were stratified according to their country’s economic development
status as defined by the World Bank as low-income, lower-middle-income, upper-middle-income, and high-
income.
Results: A total of 76 respondents (33%) of 229 SHEA members outside the United States and Canada
completed the survey questionnaire, representing 30 countries. Forty (53%) were high-, 33 (43%) were
middle-, and 1 (1%) was a low-income country. Country data were missing for 2 respondents (3%). Of the 76
respondents, 64 (84%) reported having a formal or informal antibiotic stewardship program at their institution.
High-income countries were more likely than middle-income countries to have existing MDRO policies (39/64
[61%] vs 25/64 [39%], P=.003) and to place patients with MDRO in contact precautions (40/72 [56%] vs 31/72
[44%], P=.05). Major barriers to preventing MDRO transmission included constrained resources
(infrastructure, supplies, and trained staff) and challenges in changing provider behavior.
