Impact of environmental cleaning on the colonization and infection rates of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in patients within the intensive care unit in a tertiary hospital

Yang Li et al.

Summary: The study found that environmental cleaning and hand hygiene compliance in ICUs have an impact on the colonization and infection rates of MDR-AB. Effective environmental cleaning and hand hygiene help reduce the spread and infection rate of MDR-AB.

Swati Sharma et al.

Summary: Intense carbapenem exposure in the ICU leads to sustained outbreaks of carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) with multiple carbapenemase genes adaptation strategies facilitating persistence, outbreak being polyclonal and increased biofilm formation with higher carbapenem concentration.
