To the Editor-Public awareness of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been described both as a primary goal of prevention policies 1 and as a factor influencing the practice of healthcare epidemiology. 2 Furthermore, public awareness can increase advocacy and can achieve higher levels of political commitment, 3 which is important to the development of countrywide (and even worldwide) infection prevention and control programs. This factor is especially relevant for low-to-middle income countries, in which higher incidences of HAIs are found and most of which do not include infection control in their public health agendas. 4 Mass media (including printed and online press) has been variably successful in promoting changes in health behavior in issues such as tobacco use and protection against sexually transmitted infections. 5 Much less evidence is available regarding whether media can favorably influence public health policies, although the media may raise public awareness. 6 For HAIs and AMR, both impacts (on individual behavior and public policies) may play roles in prevention and control; however, the extent of their influence remains unclear. To assess this issue, we conducted a review of press media news regarding 2 multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) that are hyperendemic in Brazilian hospitals 7 : carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii complex (CRAB) and carbapenemresistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE). We chose to search the G1/ GLOBO (www.g1.globo.com), which is the largest digital media network in Brazil, with branches in all Brazilian states. The search period included 2006 through 2017. Because we were interested in a sensitive search, we used simple terms: Acinetobacter, Klebsiella, Enterobacter OR Escherichia coli OR Enterobacteria OR Enterobacteriaceae OR CRE OR KPC OR resistance to carbapenems. We used the following inclusion criteria: (1) description of single cases, case series, endemicity or outbreaks of CRAB or CRE in hospitals and (2) all cases and/or healthcare settings possible to be assigned to a specific Brazilian state or region. The number of articles was then analyzed considering national surveillance data. Because we were interested in the "exposure of readers" to the subject, we did not exclude articles with overlapped or partially duplicated information. However, complete duplications (reprints of the same article) were excluded.
