To discuss two recently identified CRKP outbreaks in separate Kanawha County long-term care facilities
To identify common challenges faced while investigating CRKP outbreaks
To recommend steps to build the collaborative effort required between local health and the LTCF during a CRKP outbreak

On April 18, 2011, KCHD was notified by DIDE of an OHFLAC report indicating multiple positive lab results for CRKP dating back to November, 2010 in four different residents in Nursing Home “A” in Kanawha County.

Two cases cohorted together on short-term rehab wing after positive labs
At least one resident expired while roommate of positive case

DIDE/KCHD Site Visit – May 2, 2011 Recommendations:
◦ Review the prior 12 months of laboratory results to identify previously undetected cases
◦ Perform peri-rectal surveillance swabs on roommates of identified positives.
◦ Improve facility’s disease/infection tracking and include resistance status of organisms.
◦ Emphasize hand hygiene compliance with facility staff.

After much discussion and convincing, surveillance cultures performed on June 28, 2011◦ Arranged with local lab for Modified Hodge Test◦ No additional colonized or infected residents were
identified of the 16 surveillance swabs
Implemented hand hygiene monitoring program

“MDRO and Infection Control for Long Term Care Facilities”--June 21, 2011◦ Agenda included:
The ABCs of MDROs Recognizing and Reporting Outbreaks TB Control in LTCFs Closed PODs in LTCFs (Emergency Preparedness)

Nursing Home “B” informed KCHD of “possible KPC” the day of “MDRO and Infection Control for Long Term Care Facilities”◦ CRKP confirmed on 6/23/2011
Resident had recently been in and out of hospital due to hip surgery
Previously had clear urine labs

![Page 9: Brandon Merritt, MPH Regional Epidemiologist. To discuss two recently identified CRKP outbreaks in separate Kanawha County long- term care facilities](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070409/56649e765503460f94b77907/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Recommendations for Nursing Home B were virtually the same as Nursing Home A◦ 12 month lab look back◦ Identify previous roommates and perform peri-
rectal surveillance swabs◦ Place colonized/infected residents under contact
precautions and in single room if possible◦ Emphasize hand hygiene compliance among staff
and enhanced environmental cleaning

Look back completed◦ One additional case was identified, and…◦ SURPRISE! New case was also an identified case
from the outbreak at Nursing Home A Surveillance Cultures performed on July 18
◦ Eight residents tested All negative for CRKP

Lack of Reporting◦ Neither facility was aware that a single case of
CRKP should have been considered an outbreak and therefore reported to the health department immediately
Physician Resistance◦ Inattention to susceptibility profiles◦ Treating with end line antibiotics
Corporate Resistance◦ IC manuals generally treat CRE/CRKP same as
MRSA

Importance of Collaboration with LTCF◦ Relationship building◦ Emphasizing local health as supporting agency
Provide Resources Education, Education, Education
◦ IC staff, administration, physicians, corporate
Nevertheless, there’s a long way to go.

Public Health Action cont..
Suggestions for screening:Pre-emptive isolation of ptns from LTCF XActive surveillance on Epi linked patients.Periodic point prevalence
If negative, be selective:
-- Susceptible
-- High risk areas.

CONCLUSIONS
Team Work !! Depending on number of cases reported:
None or rarely detected (≤ 1 / month) Periodically detected (2-3 cases /month)
Options: 6-12 months of Micro reports Repeat Surveillance Point prevalence study Monitor cleaning performance.
