Colonization with antimicrobial-resistant organisms on admission to a Vietnamese ICU
- Documentation:
- Data were collected from 838 enrolled patients of the study 06EI about "Colonization and infection with antimicrobial-resistant organisms in Adult ICU of the Hospital for Tropical Diseases, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam" between 10th November 2014 and 14th January 2016 . There is a paucity of data regarding initial bacterial colonization on admission to Intensive Care Units (ICUs) in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). Patients admitted to ICUs in LMICs are at high-risk of subsequent infection with antimicrobial-resistant organisms (AROs). We conducted a prospective, observational study at the Hospital for Tropical Diseases in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam from November 2014 to January 2016 to assess the colonization and antimicrobial susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp., Pseudomonas spp. and Acinetobacter spp. among adult patients within 48 hours of ICU admission. Vietnamese ICU patients have a high rate of colonization with AROs and are thus at risk of subsequent infections with these organisms if good infection control practices are not in place.
