Recently at a hospital that I work at, there has been what can only be described as an outbreak of Acinobacter MDR. I know that atleast one of them acquired it at my hospital, the other two came from another hospital (the same one) they had it when they got here.
I heard that this is dangerous, what makes it so dangerous? While I do my very best with contact and droplet isolation, I see other nurses and aids walking in and out of the room with gloves, not washing, just being nonchalant about it all! Even after I try to educate them.
What else can I tell them that would make them understand that this is not something to mess around with? Anyone have experience with acinobacter outbreaks?
