Release date: 2015-03-26 Antibiotics have always been a headache for hospitals and even the pharmaceutical industry. Now, many biopharmaceutical companies are studying how to completely eradicate this ill. However, it seems that this goal is still in the foreseeable future. Since this method has no solution for the time being, can another idea be used to reduce the risk of drug-resistant bacteria transmission? Recently, French scientists have made useful attempts on this road. Scientists use wireless devices to track the activity of subjects, including 261 medical workers and 329 patients, in the hospital. The wireless sensors worn by these subjects record the location of these subjects and contact with other subjects every thirty seconds. The researchers then collected samples from the patient's nose every week to detect traces of resistant staphylococci. After four months of follow-up, the researchers successfully mapped 173 routes of transmission of these resistant bacteria among these patient populations. This makes it possible for the first time to visually observe the lines of drug-resistant bacteria that travel between patients. Thomas Obadia, the scientist in charge of the study, introduced the significance of the study. By determining the route of drug-resistant bacteria between patients and the way in which they are exposed to different subjects, scientists will be able to summarize the most risky routes of exposure to drug-resistant carriers. According to this, medical workers will be able to design effective measures to reduce the transmission of drug-resistant bacteria, and thus reduce the harm of drug-resistant bacteria. In fact, Thomas Obadia is not the first to eat crabs. In October 2014, scientists from Johns Hopkins University introduced a device that can quickly detect drug-resistant bacteria and demonstrated its effectiveness in mouse experimental models. It is foreseeable that this idea will undoubtedly play a vital role in the future struggle against human antibiotics.
