This collaboration led to important improvements in infection control in military medical facilities. CDC worked with the Department of Defense to investigate and control Acinetobacter infections occurring in soldiers injured in the Middle East.Additionally, CDC worked with the state health department in Georgia on an unrelated outbreak of B.CDC worked with the state health department of Texas on separate outbreaks of B.These outbreaks have occurred in various healthcare facilities in the state of Ohio and have been controlled by aggressive infection control interventions. CDC assisted the Ohio health department’s investigation of infections caused by Acinetobacter.
CDC has worked with the Puerto Rico health department to control an outbreak of highly resistant Klebsiella at a neonatal intensive-care unit in Puerto Rico.CDC has collaborated with state health departments in Maryland and Arizona to successfully control outbreaks of Multidrug-resistant- Acinetobacter infections occurring among intensive care unit patients.In the past 3 years, the Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion has assisted in at least 10 investigations of outbreaks of gram negative infections. Outbreak investigations have led to a better understanding of how to control these bacteria in healthcare. coli., as well as many other less common bacteria. Gram-negative infections include those caused by Klebsiella, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and E. CDC’s aggressive recommendations, if implemented, can prevent the spread of gram-negatives. These bacteria have built-in abilities to find new ways to be resistant and can pass along genetic materials that allow other bacteria to become drug-resistant as well. Gram-negative bacteria are resistant to multiple drugs and are increasingly resistant to most available antibiotics. Gram-negative bacteria cause infections including pneumonia, bloodstream infections, wound or surgical site infections, and meningitis in healthcare settings.
