Abstract Purpose of Review Nursing home residents are at high risk for colonization and
infection with bacterial pathogens that are multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs). We …

Objective. To understand the prevalence of multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) infections
among nursing home (NH) residents and the potential for their spread between NHs and …

Nursing home residents are at risk for acquiring and transmitting MDROs. A serial point-
prevalence study of 605 residents in 3 facilities using random sampling found MDRO …

Objective Determine the prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA),
vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus spp.(VRE), extended-spectrum beta-lactamase …

Importance Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) can cause significant morbidity and
mortality. Preventing MDROs can reduce the risk of subsequent transmission and infection …

Background The spread of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) is a global concern, and
much about transmission in healthcare systems remains unknown. To reduce hospital stays …

Bacterial infections are among the most common causes of morbidity and mortality in
nursing homes (NHs) and other long-term care facilities. Multidrug-resistant organisms …

Abstract Background Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) spread between hospitals,
nursing homes (NHs), and long-term acute care facilities (LTACs) via patient transfers. The …

Infections in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) are common and result in frequent hospital
transfers, functional decline, and death. Colonization with multidrug-resistant organisms …

Importance Indwelling devices (eg, urinary catheters and feeding tubes) are often used in
nursing homes (NHs). Inadequate care of residents with these devices contributes to high …
