Multi-Drug Resistant Bacteria Against Infections, Do Not Overlook Surface Disinfection!

Nov 01 , 2023

In recent years, the incidence of Multidrug-Resistant Organism (MDRO) infections has been steadily increasing globally, causing headaches not only for hospital infection control managers but also evolving into a serious public health challenge.


According to the 2021 monitoring results from China's Bacterial Resistance Surveillance Network


MRSA detection rates have shown a declining trend since 2005, with a rate of 69% in 2005 and 30% in 2021.


The detection rates of Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis were 3.52% and 0.55% in 2010, respectively, and in 2021, the rates were 1.4% and 0.1%.


The detection rates of Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae have been increasing since 2010. In 2021, the rates were 9.6% and 9.4% for Meropenem and Imipenem, respectively.


Carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa showed a decreasing trend, with a detection rate of 36.8% in 2005 and 18.9% in 2021. Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii had a high detection rate of 72.3% in 2021.


The rates of Clostridium Difficile Infection (CDI)  have become a microbial concern in critical departments such as the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Environmental cleanliness and disinfection are essential measures in MDRO prevention and control


In recent years, a "non-contact" disinfection method has gained popularity and proven effective. Many hospitals have started experimenting with clinical applications, primarily utilizing "non-contact" disinfection methods such as fully automatic bedpan washer, and bedpan washing and disinfection machines for reusable items like bedpans and drainage pans.


Traditional cleaning methods often require significant human input, with less-than-satisfactory results and potential risks to the safety of healthcare personnel. With the continuous development of technology, the bedpan sterilizer has emerged, bringing a new intelligent cleaning solution presented by Meddo Medical.

The bedpan washing and disinfection machine is an automated cleaning and disinfection device that uses thermal disinfection for bedpan cleaning. The entire process is fully automated, requiring no manual intervention. The key features of the bedpan washing and disinfection machine include:

  • Improved Cleaning Efficiency: Traditional cleaning methods demand substantial human effort and often yield unsatisfactory results. The bedpan washing and disinfection machine achieves fully automated cleaning and disinfection, significantly enhancing efficiency and quality. This not only reduces the workload for cleaning staff but also enhances cleaning quality, ensuring hospital safety and hygiene.


  • Enhanced Patient Satisfaction: By using the bedpan washing and disinfection machine, the workload for healthcare workers is reduced, allowing them to focus more on patient care. This improves user experience and satisfaction.


  • Cost Savings in Cleaning: The bedpan washing and disinfection machine achieves fully automated cleaning and disinfection, reducing labor costs and significantly lowering overall cleaning costs.


Effectively implementing MDRO infection prevention and control measures is a comprehensive undertaking involving multiple departments and disciplines. The difficulty level is high, requiring collaboration among various departments to develop control strategies. The use of intelligent equipment assists in reducing the occurrence of hospital MDRO infections. The management model for MDRO prevention and control is a key focus in the future of hospital infection prevention and control efforts. As top of bedpan washer manufacturers, Meddo provides high-quality products for infection control in hospital wards.
