Hospital-acquired infections, (HAIs), have become far too prevalent across the nation. The statistics are grim. Ten million patients will get an infection in a health care institution over the next five years and half a million of them will die. Many people fear going to the hospital because that is where the most virulent antibiotic-resistant microbes are encountered. A vast study conducted several years ago found that about half of the patients in ICU wards around the world are battling some kind of acquired infection. This study looked at data from 1,265 ICU units in 75 countries. The longer the patients stayed in the ICU, the greater the risk of becoming infected—from a 32% chance for patients staying one day or less to a 70% chance for patients staying more than seven days. These patients were more than twice as likely to die than non-infected patients. This problem accounts for about 40% of total ICU health care costs. There is a great need for new approaches to be developed to cope with resistant superbugs. Appropriately, our age is described as being on the cusp of the “post-antibiotic era.”
Microbes in the community are also becoming resistant. Superbugs are on everyone’s mind. MRSA, multi-drug resistant staph aureus, has taken a terrible toll, and continues to proliferate, generating a wide range of afflictions. At this point four million people have MRSA on the skin or in the nostrils, and that is a very conservative estimate. New strains of resistant staph are continuing to show up, especially in livestock. It has been dubbed “the perfect pathogen.” But it has competition for that title. Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, C. Diff, actinobacter, e. coli and many others are developing super strains. One woman, who was infected in a wound care clinic where she had been referred for post-operative care, became colonized by three different superbugs—MRSA, pseudomonas and actinobacter. Five years later she still has an open wound in her abdomen where mesh to repair hernia had been inserted. She is on maintenance doses of very strong antibiotics and running out of options.
