RESUMEN: La incidencia de infecciones causadas por microorganismos multirresistentes (MMR) y, en concreto, por enterobacterias productoras de carbapenemasas está aumentando en el mundo entero. Además, la diseminación está ocurriendo con mucha rapidez. Al empezar a escasear nuestras posibilidades terapéuticas, puesto que estas bacterias son resistentes a diferentes grupos de antibacterianos, las medidas para prevenir las infecciones antes de tener que tratarlas está teniendo un papel importante para frenar la evolución de esta situación. Se describen brevemente las principales medidas de prevención y control de MMR de probada Eficacia en el ámbito sanitario: higiene de manos, medidas de aislamiento de contacto, vigilancia activa de casos, formación del personal sanitario, limpieza ambiental “intensa” e intercambio de información entre centros asistenciales.
ABSTRACT: The infection rates of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO), especially of carbapenemaseproducing Enterobacteriaceae, are increasing all around the world. Dissemination is occurring rapidly. Therapeutic options are becoming scarce because many of these bacteria are resistant to multiple antimicrobial groups. Prevention and control of MDRO transmission is getting more and more important to stop the evolution of this situation. The principal evidence based control interventions in healthcare settings will be described shortly in this article: hand hygiene, use of contact precautions, active surveillance cultures, staff education, enhanced environmental cleaning and sharing of information between health care organizations regarding patient MDRO-status.
