Abstract
|
|
|
|
The prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is increasing worldwide. Due to the emergence and spread of antibioticresistant bacteria, the treatment of bacterial infections is becoming more difficult, potentially leading to the public crisis. The Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have implemented a sentine surveillance system for healthcare-associated infections (VRSA, VRE, MRSA, MRPA, MRAB, and CRE) since 2010, targeted at more effective control of healthcare-associated infections. Herein, we describe the current results and the epidemiological characteristics of healthcare-associated infections reported through the sentinel surveillance system in South Korea for the period of 2013-2017, by selected variables including year, types of samples, size of hospital beds, and region.
