Reduction of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections on a neonatal intensive care unit by point-of-use filtration

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most frequently isolated gram-negative pathogens causing nosocomial infections. It is well known that tap water outlets are often colonised with P. aeruginosa and may represent a source of endemic infections on NICU. In NICU CHC Zagreb routine sampling for diagnostic and surveillance microbiological cultures was performed weekly from 2006 till 2008. Surveillance microbiological cultures included tracheal aspirate, stool, urine and gastric juice. Environmental samples included surfaces of sinks and other surfaces in areas adjacent to patients. It has been detected increase in total number of Pseudomonas spp. isolates. In 2006: 117 patient isolates ; 4 from blood. In 2007: 197 isolates ; 1 from blood. In 2008: 364 isolates ; 5 from blood. In 2006. there were 7 environmental isolates, in 2007, 8 isolates and in 2008, 6 isolates of Pseudomonas spp. grown from the hospital environment. At the end of 2008, point of use water filters (Pall- Aquasafe, Pall Medical) were installed. NICU nurses and cleaning personnel were instructed not to touch or clean the filters, although the filters were changed weekly by designated NICU personnel. In 2009 there were 160 Pseudomonas spp. isolates, without isolates from environment ; in 2010 there were 135 isolates ; with 2 environmental ; and in 2011. there were 10 isolates. From 2009 there were no isolates from blood. Point-of-use filtration was associated with a reduction of chronically endemic Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection/colonisation on a NICU.
