In Ontario, Canada, since 2012, some hospitals discontinued contact precautions for vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE). Between 2009 and 2018, there was an associated rise in VRE bloodstream infections in hospitals where contact precautions were discontinued but not in hospitals that maintained contact precautions. These data suggest contact precautions are important for hospital VRE control programs.
在加拿大安大略省,自 2012 年以来,一些医院停止对万古霉素耐药肠球菌(VRE)采取接触预防措施。在 2009 年至 2018 年期间,停止接触预防措施的医院中 VRE 血流感染病例有所增加,但维持接触预防措施的医院中则没有这种情况。这些数据表明接触预防措施对于医院 VRE 控制计划非常重要。
