A project of the Health Sciences and Human Services LibraryTransmission of Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria to Healthcare Personnel Gowns and Gloves During Care of Residents in Community-Based Nursing Facilities
UMB Dataset
UID: 84
- Description
- As an extension of a MRSA-related study, this research investigated the rate of transmission of resistant Gram-negative bacteria (RGNB) from residents to healthcare personnel (HCP) within community-based nursing homes. 13 facilities in Michigan and Maryland participated in the project. Perianal skin swabs were taken from 399 enrollees, 74 of which were positive for at least 1 RGNB. The gloves and gowns of HCP were swabbed after each interaction and the type of care activity recorded. Dataset includes resident demographic and health status data, type of care activity, transmission rates, and microbiological characteristics.
