| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was molecular epidemiological analyses of isolated strains of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in a prefecture of Japan and finding a better strategy for making effective progress in improving infection control in hospitals with fewer than 400 beds. Analyses found persistent infections brought into the hospitals that were community-acquired, antibiotic-resistant bacteria that had community-specific genotypes and antibiotic-resistant genes that had the potential to propagate via bacterial plasmids. Improvements in effective infection control in the hospitals occurred formally, such as via infection control committees or informally from the ideas of staff members wanting to provide higher quality healthcare. The results suggested that an important strategy for improving infection control is to discover positive deviance which are effective staff member behaviors and formalize them.
