HEALTH CARE ASSOCIATED INFECTIONS (HCAI)
• THE BIG 3: SSI, CLI, VAP
• PREVENTION RESEARCH HAS IDENTIFIED EVIDENCE-BASED INTERVENTIONS(CLASS 1 EVIDENCE)
HOWEVER,
“NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED”(Clare Boothe Luce)
SSI AND RISK
• RISK INCREASED BY:
– PATIENT FACTORS
– SURGICAL PROCEDURE
• RISK MAY BE DECREASED BY:
– COMPLIANCE WITH EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE
PROPHYLAXIS: the rationale
• SKIN CAN’T BESTERILISED
• SKIN FLORA WILL BETRACKED INTO DEEPERTISSUES
• PROVIDES SHORT-TERMSUPPORT FOR THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
ASSOCIATED RISKS
• INCREASED/IMPROPER USE OF ANTIBIOTICS HAS BEEN IMPLICATED IN: ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE
– Clostridium difficile ASSOCIATED DIARRHEA (CDAD)
Staphylococcus aureus
• COMMON SKIN BACTERIUM
• PENICILLIN INTRODUCED1943; BY 1960, 80%RESISTANCE REPORTED
• 1ST CASE OF METHICILLIN- RESISTANCE WAS SEEN IN 1961 (MRSA)
• RELATIVELY SLOW EMERGENCE UNTIL 1990s
MRSA
• ADAPTS AND SHARES GENETIC INFORMATION
• ANTIMICROBIAL PRESSURE WILL SELECT FOR RESISTANT STRAINS
• RECENT EPIDEMIOLOGY:
– COMMUNITY ACQUISITION
– POOR ADHERANCE TO HAND HYGIENE IN HEALTH CARE

Clostridium difficile
• FOUND IN LOWER BOWEL, CAN BE PART OF RESIDENT FLORA
• SPORE-FORMER; SURVIVES FOR EXTENDED PERIODS IN THE ENVIRONMENT
• EXCRETES TOXINS WHICH CAN CAUSE TISSUE DAMAGE
C.difficile: Vegetative vs Spore
Vegetative form: metabolically active - Produces Toxin A & B (? Other)- Killed by some antibiotics only- Oxygen exposure kills
Spores: not metabolically active- No Toxin production, - Not affected by antibiotics- Oxygen exposure doesn’t kill

CDAD (C. difficile associated diarrhea)
• ANTIMICROBIAL PRESSUREMAY ALLOW FOR OVERGROWTH
• RECOGNIZED AS PRIMARY CAUSE OF ANTIBIOTIC ASSOCIATED DIARRHEA IN 1978
• RECENT EMERGENCE OF NEW STRAINS CAUSING MORE SEVERE DISEASE
CDAD
• ANTIMICROBIALS MOST OFTEN IMPLICATED:
– CLINDAMYCIN
– 2ND AND 3RD GENERATION CEPHALOSPORINS
– FLUOROQUINOLONES
CDAD: MORE TO THE STORY?
• 2000 – 2001: LARGEST MULTICENTRE OUTBREAK TO DATE REPORTED IN CALGARY
• INVESTIGATIONAL FINDINGS:– FRAIL ELDERLY WITH MULTIPLE
COMORBIDITIES– ENVIRONMENTAL
CONTAMINATION– UNRESTRICTED USE OF
CLINDAMYCIN
CDAD PREVENTION
• ANTIMICROBIAL STEWARDSHIP
• ELIMINATING ENVIRONMENTAL RESERVOIRS
• CONTACT ISOLATION OF SUSPECT AND CONFIRMED CASES
PROPHYLAXIS DONE RIGHT!
• TARGETS THE ORGANISMS MOST LIKELY AT THE SURGICAL SITE
• DELIVERED AT THE OPTIMAL TIME
• PROPHYLAXIS VS TREATMENT

DiscussionDiscussion
AP is not without risk, especially in epidemic AP is not without risk, especially in epidemic areas of CDADareas of CDAD – AP exposes patients to a AP exposes patients to a highhigh risk of CDAD, which can risk of CDAD, which can
