海报摘要

Rises in healthcare related infections (HRI) have been reported during the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Some of these HRI are due to multidrug-resistant microorganism (MRM). Patients admitted to Intensive Care Units (ICU) are at special risk. Methods : Retrospective descriptive study of HRI due to MRM in confirmed COVID-19 ICU in-patients during the first wave of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic at Infanta Sofía University Hospital, San Sebastián de los Reyes (Madrid). Patient characteristics, antimicrobial drug therapy and microbiological samples outcomes were analysed. Results : 76 confirmed COVID-19 cases were admitted to our ICU. 30 HRI that met national HRI criteria were detected in 14 patients. The most frequently detected HRI were tracheobronchitis (57.14%, 95% CI 45.94%-68.34%, n=8), bacteriemia (50%, 95% CI 40.20%-59.80%, n=7) and ventilator-associated pneumonia (42.86%, CI 34.46%-51.26%, n=6). Positive cultures for MRM were detected in 32 samples. Extended betalactamase producing Klebsiella pneumoniae was the most frequently detected MRM (n=24).
