“…7 Although our sample size was small (n < 30), a closer look at the outcome between ESBL-EC (n = 26) and ESBL-KP (n = 13) did not reveal any statistical difference in terms of mortality rate (7.7% in each arm). Moreover, the mortality rates were similar for other ESBL microorganisms (Enterobacter spp, Morganella spp, and Proteus spp (n =21)),~9.5% (P = .99, data not shown).…”

“…Interestingly, we previously showed that BSI severity or mortality among spinal cord injury patients over 15 years was not related to the multidrug-resistant characteristics of the microorganism 7 . Although our sample size was small (n<30), a closer look at the outcome between ESBL-EC (n=26) and ESBL-KP (n=13) did not reveal any statistical difference in terms of mortality rate (7.7% in each arm).…”

“…Such data underly the hypothesis that ESBL-KP infections might have been more severe than those due to ESBL-EC. For instance, multidrug-resistant BSIs complicating respiratory tract infections have been associated with an increased mortality (odds ratio [OR], 3.26; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.29–8.22) 7 …”

The presence of cluster I in both ICUs, identical to the endemic cluster described by Saalffeld et al, 4 demonstrates the importance of interhospital dissemination. Although the environment was not the main cause of dissemination, we believe that the contamination of the hands of healthcare professionals may have contributed to the dissemination of A. baumannii isolates, and the failure to verify this dissemination route was a limiting factor in our study. Our study showed that after the ICU was re-established in a new building (ie, a new ICU), the dissemination of endemic clone-producing OXA-23 was maintained even though the new ICU environment was not contaminated. This occurrence demonstrates that additional measures are required to control the dissemination of this important hospital pathogen. Financial support.

“…Blood stream infection secondary to urinary tract infections, pneumonia, pressure ulcers [48], catheter-related bloodstream infections [54], and infections at other sites may occur in SCI patients. Meningitis may occur after penetrating injuries or as a result of CSF leakage at the time of injury or subsequent to surgery [48].…”

Infectious diseases after spinal cord injury (SCI) are important. They can cause mortality and morbidity. The SCI patients usually stay in hospital or rehabilitation units for a long time, and this can cause several complications for them. Infectious complications: There are several infectious complications in these patients. Pressure ulcers that may be infected, soft tissue infections, osteomyelitis, pneumonia, urinary tract infection, bacteremia, meningitis, epidural abscess, and subdural empyema are important complications. These diseases should be diagnosed and managed promptly, before leading to irreversible complications or death. Diagnosis: Diagnosis is made by physical examinations; laboratory tests like wound, urine, tracheal secretion, and blood culture with antibiogram; and radiologic evaluation like plain X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging may be used. Treatment: Appropriate antibiotics are cornerstone of infectious complications. Offloading is important for treatment of pressure ulcers and subsequent complications such as soft tissue infection and osteomyelitis. Prevention: Intermittent urinary catheterization and prophylactic antibiotic therapy can decrease UTI. Pressure relief, position changes, and regular and frequent observation of skin will prevent pressure ulcers, soft tissue infections, and osteomyelitis. Pulmonary toilet, appropriate positioning, and cough assistance can be useful for clearing retained secretions and preventing pneumonia.
