Risk Factors for Infection with Escherichia coli in Nursing Home Residents Colonized with Fluoroquinolone-Resistant E. coli

Abstract: A case-control study to determine risk factors for clinical infection with Escherichia coli was conducted among nursing home residents colonized with fluoroquinolone-resistant E. coli. Among 94 subjects, 11 (12%) developed infections with E. coli. Risk factors included the presence of a urinary catheter or tracheostomy, diabetes mellitus, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole exposure.

“…Up to 13% of men and 12% of women have an indwelling urinary catheter on admission to the nursing home, and urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the leading causes of infection among nursing home residents . Although progress has been made in reducing catheter utilization with long-term use at 5% to 8% nationally, catheters still remain in place for long periods, leading to higher risk of infections, especially antimicrobial-resistant infections . Furthermore, knowledge of evidence-based practices to care for these devices among health care personnel in the long-term setting is suboptimal .…”

“…Extended‐spectrum β‐lactamase‐producing Enterobacteriaceae is an emerging infectious species raising global concerns . Many Enterobacteriaceae species are part of the endogenous bacterial flora of the intestinal tract in humans, which poses a challenge in efforts to prevent spread of ESBL‐E as part of healthcare‐related infection control.…”

“…It should be recognized that ethical concerns related to FMT for treatment of asymptomatic MDRO decolonization may be different from those related to treatment of severe, recurrent CDI. Only about 20% of intensive care unit (ICU) patients who are colonized with an MDRO develop an infection with the same MDRO during their ICU stay [15, 16]; the risk of infection may be lower among patients in long term care facilities [17, 18], which have been identified as important reservoirs for MDROs in several studies [19]. While FMT holds promise as a groundbreaking strategy for control of MDROs in these settings, its therapeutic index must be proven to be very high before treatment of asymptomatic patients who may be at low risk of infection can be justified.…”
