Rapid Spread and Control of Multidrug-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria in COVID-19 Patient Care Units

Ashka Patel et al.

Summary: The rapid spread of multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria among patients in a dedicated coronavirus disease care unit in a Maryland hospital was attributed to factors such as critical illness, high antibiotic use, double occupancy of single rooms, and modified infection prevention practices. Surveillance culturing played a key role in identifying and controlling the outbreak.

An outbreak of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in a COVID-19 dedicated hospital

Tamar Gottesman et al.

Summary: This study describes an outbreak of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) in a COVID-19 dedicated hospital, with the suspected mechanism of transfer being an environmental source that persisted despite evacuation and terminal cleaning, transmitted through healthcare workers' hands or equipment. This outbreak highlights the importance of not neglecting practices to prevent the spread of multidrug-resistant organisms during the COVID-19 pandemic.
