19. The effect of routine surveillance and decolonization on the rate of Staphylococcus aureusinfections in a level IV neonatal intensive care unit

Author

Balamohan, Archana, Beachy, Joanna, Kohn, Nina, and Rubin, Lorry G.

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the impact of active surveillance cultures (ASC) for Staphylococcus aureus(SA) and decolonization on the rate of infection in neonates in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Study design: Using a quasi-experimental design with control groups, rates of SA infections before and after implementing weekly ASC and topical mupirocin decolonization in a level IV NICU were compared. Comparators were the rates of gram negative bloodstream infections (BSI) and of SA BSI at an affiliated NICU where the intervention was not implemented. Result: There was a 77% (p< 0.010) reduction in rate of NICU-wide methicillin-susceptible SA (MSSA) BSI, but no significant change in rate of methicillin-resistant SA BSI, likely due to a prevalent mupirocin-resistant clone. Rates of gram negative BSI and SA BSI at an affiliated NICU did not change significantly. Conclusion: Weekly ASC and decolonization were associated with a unit-wide reduction in MSSA infections in a NICU.

20. Recurrent colonization with methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus after successful decolonization in a neonatal intensive care unit.

Author

Balamohan A, Annavajhala MK, Boyar V, Chong A, Uhlemann AC, and Rubin LG

Abstract

Recurrent methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus colonization following successful decolonization in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) has been observed. Of 17 recolonization events, 53% were due to concordant strains; 19 different spa types were identified. Results of this study support sources of re-acquisition both intrinsic and extrinsic to the NICU.
