Overview
Nosocomial, also known as hospital acquired infections, are today considered to be an important indicator of the quality of health care in all health establishments. They involve an undesirable complication of the provided health care with a number of negative consequences, such as increased morbidity and mortality, longer time of hospitalization and higher costs. Their incidence at present is also related, among other things, to the broadening, sometimes invasive technical possibilities of diagnosing and therapy. Another issue in Czech hospitals consists in the growing resistance of some bacteria to antibiotics. In practice this means considerably limited possibilities of treatment. The contribution brings the current data about the state of bacterial resistance in Czech hospitals (European project EARS-Net – year 2015).
Key words:
bacterial resistance – European Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Network (EARS-Net) – health care related infections – hospital-acquired infections
