Outbreak of bloodstream infection caused by Burkholderia cepacia complex: the role of genetic sequencing in investigation.
IRAS (infecções relacionadas à assistência à saúde) or hospital infections are one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), of all patients operated in the world, one million people die from hospital infections and seven million have postoperative complications.
Among the causes of hospital infections are lack of hands hygiene, indiscriminate use of antibiotics, breakdown of care protocols and environmental contamination.
The Neobiome HealthCare platform is a tool for healthcare professionals, who work with infection control, for fast decision-making based on the knowledge of the hospital microbiome and control of hospital processes.
With the tools available on the platform, it is possible to map out flaws in processes, validate sanitation procedures, identify reservoirs of microbiological contaminations in the environment, infer potential routes of cross contamination, promote educational actions, and perform sterility tests on materials.
