Vancomycin-resistant and frequently colonize nursing facility (NF) residents, creating opportunities for vancomycin-resistant (VRE) transmission and dissemination of mobile genetic elements conferring antimicrobial resistance. Most VRE studies do not speciate; our study addresses this lack and compares the epidemiology of and .
We enrolled 651 newly admitted patients from 6 different NFs and collected swabs from several body sites at enrollment, 14 days, 30 days, and monthly thereafter for up to 6 months. The VRE were speciated using a duplex polymerase chain reaction. We used multinomial logistic regression models to compare risk factors associated with colonization of and
Overall, 40.7% were colonized with , , or both. At enrollment, more participants were colonized with (17.8%) than (8.4%); 3.2% carried both species. was carried twice as long as (69 days and 32 days, respectively), but incidence rates were similar (, 3.9/1000 person-days vs , 4.1/1000 person-days). Length of stay did not differ by species among incident cases. Residents who used antibiotics within the past 30 days had a greater incidence of both (odds ratio [OR] = 2.89; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.82-4.60) and (OR = 1.80; 95% CI, 1.16-2.80); device use was most strongly associated with the incidence of colonization (OR = 2.01; 95% CI, 1.15-3.50).
Recent increases in vancomycin-resistant prevalence may reflect increased device use and longer duration of carriage.
耐万古霉素肠球菌经常定植于护理机构(NF)的居民中,为耐万古霉素肠球菌(VRE)的传播以及赋予抗菌药物耐药性的移动遗传元件的传播创造了机会。大多数VRE研究未进行菌种鉴定;我们的研究解决了这一不足,并比较了[具体菌种1]和[具体菌种2]的流行病学情况。
我们纳入了来自6个不同护理机构的651名新入院患者,并在入院时、14天、30天以及此后每月(最长6个月)从多个身体部位采集拭子。使用双重聚合酶链反应对VRE进行菌种鉴定。我们使用多项逻辑回归模型比较与[具体菌种1]和[具体菌种2]定植相关的危险因素。
总体而言,40.7%的患者被[具体菌种1]、[具体菌种2]或两者定植。入院时,被[具体菌种1]定植的参与者(17.8%)多于被[具体菌种2]定植的参与者(8.4%);3.2%的患者同时携带这两种菌种。[具体菌种1]的携带时间是[具体菌种2]的两倍(分别为69天和32天),但发病率相似([具体菌种1],3.9/1000人日;[具体菌种2],4. /1000人日)。在发病病例中,住院时间因菌种不同而无差异。在过去30天内使用过抗生素的居民,[具体菌种1](优势比[OR]=2.89;95%置信区间[CI],1.82 - 4.60)和[具体菌种2](OR = 1.80;95% CI,1.16 - 2.80)的发病率均更高;器械使用与[具体菌种1]定植的发病率关联最为密切(OR = 2.01;95% CI,1.15 - 3.50)。
近期耐万古霉素[具体菌种1]患病率的增加可能反映了器械使用的增加和携带时间的延长。
