Journal Article
Meet the multiresistant organisms
2014
Overview
In the 19th century routine surgical procedures were at very high risk of infection. Louis Pasteur, the French scientist, was able to demonstrate that invisible microbes caused disease. English surgeon Joseph Lister was influenced by Pasteur’s work and founded modern aseptic surgery when applying Pasteur’s germ theory of disease to surgery. Bacteria and the postoperative infections they cause are a big challenge to all nurses. Prevention of infection is a major goal for perioperative nurses. With the emergence of some virtually untreatable multiresistant organisms (MROs), a better understanding of bacteriology and antibiotic resistance will enhance the knowledge of the perioperative nurse and the basis for their procedural practice. Four of the more common MROs encountered in postoperative wound infections are considered.
