From 2019 (pre-COVID-19) to 2022 (COVID-19 years), three tertiary Greek hospitals monitored MDRO bloodstream infection (BSI) and hospital acquisition relying on laboratory data. Surveillance covered carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE), Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA), vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), in intensive care units (ICUs) and non-ICUs. Non-ICUs experienced significant increases in CRE, CRAB and VRE during the pandemic. In ICUs, CRE increased in 2021, CRAB in 2020 and 2021, and VRE in 2021 and 2022. KPC predominated among CRE. MDRO BSI and hospital acquisition incidence rates increased, driven by CRE and CRAB.
从 2019 年(新冠疫情前)到 2022 年(新冠疫情年),希腊的三家三级医院依靠实验室数据监测耐多药菌血流感染(BSI)和医院获得性感染。监测范围包括碳青霉烯类耐药肠杆菌科(CRE)、鲍曼不动杆菌(CRAB)、铜绿假单胞菌(CRPA)、万古霉素耐药肠球菌(VRE)和耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA),涉及重症监护病房(ICU)和非 ICU。在疫情期间,非 ICU 中 CRE、CRAB 和 VRE 的数量显著增加。在 ICU 中,2021 年 CRE 增加,2020 年和 2021 年 CRAB 增加,2021 年和 2022 年 VRE 增加。CRE 以 KPC 为主。CRE 和 CRAB 导致 MDRO BSI 和医院获得性感染的发病率增加。
