The use of data on the composition and drug resistance of the causative agents of suppuration in a retrospective analysis of the epidemiological situation in a hospital

The analysis of bacterial 16,530 strains, dynamically isolated from 6,157 patients with purulent septic processes (PSP) in surgical, traumatological, burn, toxicological and resuscitation departments, was made. The computer processing of data on the spread of the causative agents of PSP, depending on their taxonomic classification and drug resistance spectra, was carried out, which made in possible to obtain information on the outbreaks of hospital infections. Correlation of the number of PSP cases and the spread of hospital resistovars was analyzed. The data on the composition and drug resistance of pyogenic microorganisms could be used in the retrospective analysis of the epidemiological situation in a hospital. 3-year observations revealed the tendency to a decrease in the spread of the hospital variants of the causative agents of PSP, multiresistant to antibacterial preparations, which was indicative of the effectiveness of the antiepidemic measures carried out during this period.
