Abstract :

Multi-drug resistant organisms (MDROs) are defined as microorganisms, predominantly bacteria, that are resistant to one or more classes of antimicrobial agents. These pathogens are frequently resistant to most available antimicrobial agents and deserve special attention in healthcare facilities. Generally, MDRO infections have clinical manifestations similar to infections caused by susceptible pathogens. Despite of two different classifications by WHO and CDC, still there are debates about update definition of MDROs in medical literature. Here we provide an updated local guideline for definitions of various MDROs by microbiology laboratory

Keywords :

Antimicrobial agent, Healthcare facilities, microbiology laboratory, Multi-drug resistant organisms (MDROs)
