Nosocomial Infections■Medicare implemented a policy on October 1, 2008
that penalizes hospitals if Medicare patients acquire any of 8 conditions during their inpatient stay
■3 of these conditions are infections:■ Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)■ Vascular Catheter-Associated Infection■ Surgical Site Infections, various

VRE
■Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci
■- a bacteria
■normally present in the human intestines and in the female genital tract and are often found in the environment.
![Page 18: MSALI: INFECTIONS. Terms ■Pathogens ■Host ■Colonization ■Reservoir ■Causative Agents ■Bacteria ■Aerobic ■Anaerobic ■Mode of Transmission ■Portal of Entry](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1ad77f8b9ab05997380f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What types of infections does VRE cause?
■It can cause infections of the urinary tract, the bloodstream, or of wounds associated with catheters or surgical procedures.
![Page 19: MSALI: INFECTIONS. Terms ■Pathogens ■Host ■Colonization ■Reservoir ■Causative Agents ■Bacteria ■Aerobic ■Anaerobic ■Mode of Transmission ■Portal of Entry](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1ad77f8b9ab05997380f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Who is at RISK?■People who have been previously treated
with the antibiotic vancomycin or other antibiotics for long periods of time.
■People who are hospitalized, particularly when they receive antibiotic treatment for long periods of time.
■People with weakened immune systems.■People who have undergone surgical
procedures.■People with medical devices that stay in for
some time such as urinary catheters or central intravenous (IV) catheters.
■People who are colonized with VRE.

Treatment
■People who are colonized do not usually need treatment.
■Most VRE infections can be treated successfully with antibiotics other than vancomycin.
■Laboratory testing of the VRE sample can determine which antibiotics will successfully treat the infection.

Treatment
■The infection can usually be treated with an appropriate course of antibiotics,
■including metronidazole, vancomycin , or recently approved fidaxomicin.
■Fecal Transplant

Influenza
■Influenza viruses are spread from person to person primarily through large-particle respiratory droplet
transmission (e.g., when an infected person coughs or sneezes near a
susceptible person).

■The typical incubation period for influenza is 1—4 days (average: 2 days)
■Most healthy adults may be able to infect others beginning 1 day before symptoms develop and up to 5 to 7 days after becoming sick

Diagnostics
■Preferred respiratory samples for influenza testing include nasopharyngeal or nasal swab, and nasal wash or aspirate, depending on which type of test is used .
■Samples should be collected within the first 4 days of illness.
■Rapid influenza diagnostic tests provide results within 20 minutes or less; viral culture provides results in 3-10 days

Prevention – FLU Vaccination – for residents and employees■Flu vaccines cause antibodies to develop in the
body about two weeks after vaccination. These antibodies provide protection against infection with the viruses that are in the vaccine.
■The seasonal flu vaccine protects against the influenza viruses that research indicates will be most common during the upcoming season.

Treatments■Three antiviral drugs recommended by the
CDC & approved by the FDA:oseltamivir (brand name Tamiflu®), zanamivir (brand name Relenza®) and peramivir (brand name Rapivab®). Tamiflu® comes as a pill or liquid, and Relenza® is an inhaled powder. (Relenza should NOT be used in anyone with breathing problems, like asthma or COPD, for example.) Rapivab® is administered intravenously.
