What are Multi-Drug Resistant Organisms (MDRO)?

Multi-Drug Resistant Organisms (MDRO) are bacteria that are resistant to the most effective antibiotics available, and because almost all drugs are ineffective, controlling the spread of these bacteria is the primary means of control.

Infection Ways

The infection may occur through direct or indirect hand contact with the patient or the patient's environment, but may be prevented by washing hands, wearing gloves, etc.

Notes for Caregivers

• In order to maintain the health of you and visitors, visitors minimize visits to the hospital.
• When caring for patients, they should wear an isolation gown and gloves. The gown should be replaced every day. When removed, the clothing should be wrapped from inside to outside and placed in the red soiled linen trolley.
• Before and after contact with the patient, and after touching the patient's surroundings (e.g. bed, bedside table, chair, etc.), gloves should be replaced and hands washed with soap or dry hand sanitizers.
• Roll up the sheets and bedclothes used by the patient and put them in the red soiled linen trolley.
• To maintain your and your family's health, caregivers are advised to take a shower when returning home.
• When the patient can be transferred out of the isolation ward, notification will be given by the doctor or nurse.
