“…Klebsiella pneumoniae es frecuentemente aislada en las unidades de cuidados intensivos y salas de pediatría, obteniendo cepas resistentes a cefalosporinas de tercera generación con resistencia combinada a múltiples antimicrobianos 19 . En Colombia, entre los años 2009 y 2012, se aisló K. pneumoniae de forma habitual en la UCI de 23 hospitales, considerándose un microorganismo endémico 20 .…”

Carbapenem-resistant (CRE) are major health care-associated pathogens and responsible for hospital outbreaks worldwide. To prevent a further increase in CRE infections and to improve infection prevention strategies, it is important to summarize the current knowledge about CRE infection prevention in hospital settings. This systematic review aimed to identify risk factors for CRE acquisition among hospitalized patients. In addition, we summarized the environmental sources/reservoirs and the most successful infection prevention strategies related to CRE. A total of 3,983 potentially relevant articles were identified and screened. Finally, we included 162 studies in the systematic review, of which 69 studies regarding risk factors for CRE acquisition were included in the random-effects meta-analysis studies. The meta-analyses regarding risk factors for CRE acquisition showed that the use of medical devices generated the highest pooled estimate (odds ratio [OR] = 5.09; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 3.38 to 7.67), followed by carbapenem use (OR = 4.71; 95% CI = 3.54 to 6.26). To control hospital outbreaks, bundled interventions, including the use of barrier/contact precautions for patients colonized or infected with CRE, are needed. In addition, it is necessary to optimize the therapeutic approach, which is an important message to infectious disease specialists, who need to be actively involved in a timely manner in the treatment of patients with known CRE infections or suspected carriers of CRE.

The purpose of this chapter is to provide the reader with applicable guidance on the management of outbreaks and infections of multi-resistant bacteria in the neonatal intensive care unit. The main focus will be on the different strategies for the prevention and control of outbreaks of multi-resistant bacteria, these being applied to the personnel and infrastructure of the unit. A brief comparative analysis of different neonatal intensive care units around the world and the similarities and differences in the management of outbreaks and infections will be carried out. The importance of sanitary and epidemiological surveillance and monitoring of outbreaks that can potentially occur in the pediatric intensive care unit, will be addressed in a practical way.
