MDRO: DefinitionMDRO: Definition
Multidrug-Resistant Organisms (MDROs) are defined as microorganisms that are resistant to one or more classes of antimicrobial agents.
Three most common MDROs are:
1. Methicillin-Resistant Staph aureus (MRSA)
2. Vancomycin Resistant Enterococci: (VRE)
3. Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase producing Enterobacteria. (ESBLs)
CDC: Management of Multidrug-Resistant Organisms in Healthcare Settings, Healthcare Infection Control Advisory Committee, Jane D. Siegel et. al. pg 7-12
Epidemiology of MDROsEpidemiology of MDROs
Trends– Prevalence varies temporarily, by regions,
and by health care facilities.
– Type and level of care influence prevalence
– Prevalence in United States hospitals has increased steadily

Bacteria Outer MembraneBacteria Outer Membrane Uppermost layer contains lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for Gram (-ve)
– Lipid portion is an endotoxin- stimulates immune response, fever…

1.Methicillin-Resistant 1.Methicillin-Resistant Staph aureusStaph aureus (MRSA) (MRSA)
These are organisms that are not sensitive to common penicillin based drugs such as methicillin, amoxicillin, penicillin, oxacillin1
Normal flora- lives on human skin, noses, vaginal tract May cause infections if enters the body Contagious- through person to person contact Treatment - Vancomycin
2. Vancomycin Resistant Enterococci (VRE)2. Vancomycin Resistant Enterococci (VRE)
Enterococci resistant to Vancomycin Present in human body such as urinary tract and GI tract. Contagious Hospital patients can get it from contact via health care providers. Normal flora that may cause disease especially in vulnerable
populations:– Eg elderly, children and immunocompromised patients.
VREVRE cont’dcont’d
VRE include:– Enterococcus faecalis– Enterococcus faecium
Treated with Synercid (quinupristin and dalfopristin)
VRE can live on surfaces for up to 7 days!!!– Haemophilus influenzae lives about 2 days

3. Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase 3. Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase producing Enterobacteria. (ESBL)producing Enterobacteria. (ESBL)
ESBLs are plasmid-mediated beta lactamases described in gram negative bacilli2
– Eg. Klebsiella, Acinebacter
MOA – hydrolysis of beta- lactam ring in– Penicillins– Narrow spectrum cephalosporins
Beta-lactamase inhibitors inhibit ESBL producing strains– Clavulanic acid– Sulbactam
– Tazobactam.

Other Drug Resistant DiseasesOther Drug Resistant Diseases
Extensively-Drug Resistant Tuberculosis (XDR-TB)– This is a TB causing organism that is resistant to almost
all drugs that are used to treat TB. Isoniazid Rifampin Fluoroquinolones At least one of: Amikacin, kanamycin, capreomycin
– The main cuasitive organism is Mycobacterium tuberculosis3
– Contagious through droplets but slower than viral infection such as flu
MDROs preventionMDROs prevention Observe the universal standard precautions Practice 200% percent safety rule Good hygiene practice
– Frequent hand wash– Cover cuts and scrapes– Do not share personal items eg razors
Do not pressure doctors for antibiotics Finish all antibiotic medications Health care providers to wash hands before touching patients Isolation for serious cases
Clostridium difficileClostridium difficile Clostridium difficile (C. diff) is a gram positive
bacteria of the clostridium genus. Contagious- especially in hospitals through contact Responsible for Clostridium difficile Infection (CDI)
– Infections include:Uncomplicated diarrhea (CDAD)Toxic megacolonPseudomembranous colitis
These diseases can lead to fulminant sepsis and death

Assessment and PlanAssessment and Plan 1. Colitis, probably clostridium difficile.
– Patient was recently discharged with C.diff colitis. He had same symptoms: diarrhea and abdominal pain.
– He was started on Flagyl 500mg IV q8 hours and Vancomycin 500mg po q.i.d.
2. History of Coronary Artery Disease.– Patient is stable and will continue coreg– Not on any blood thinners
3. Diabetes Mellitus, type 1. He is currently on sliding scale insulin. Currently on liquid diet. His sugars will be monitiored closely.
4. Congestive heart failure. The patient is stable and will continue on Lasix, Adactone and coreg.
5. Thrombocytopenia. This is probably secondary to liver dysfunction. He is stable.
6. Skin ulcers. Wound care was consulted.
Clinical courseClinical course
The labs were positive for C. diff Had recurrent diarrhea.Was on metronidazole IV and vancomycin
IV one time but redeveloped diarrhea after one week.
Responded well to vancomycin
DischargeDischarge
Discharged after four days with;– Vancomycin 250mg p.o. qid x 3 weeks– Probiotics– Continue all other home medications prior to admission
Condition: At the time of discharge, the patient was afibrile, tolerating oral intake, no abdominal pain, still had diarrhea but formed stool
Recent labs: WBC 4.4, Hb 14, hematocrit 40
Patient case commentPatient case comment The patient had failed initial treatment with metronidazole. Patient was started on both metronidazole IV and oral
vancomycin. This was appropriate because the regimen provided double coverage and enhanced killing of C. diff.
The patient was discharged with vancomycin 250mg q.i.d. for 3 weeks. This was appropriate because the guidelines indicate for vancomycin when failure with metronidazole occurs after 5 days of treatment.4
According to the literature, there is evidence that probiotics can treat recurrent C.diff5. Therefore, inclusion of probiotics was appropriate.
Vancomycin may kill some of the normal flora and hence potential for C. diff overgrowth. Probiotics would re-establish normal flora and keep C.diff under control.
