multidrug resistant organism(English)

• a microorganism that has become resistant to multiple antibiotics. Infection resulting from MDR organisms in critically ill patients presents particular challenges to clinicians, given the lack of a pipeline of new antibiotics active against these resistant strains. MDR organisms are often the etiologic agents with a dramatic impact on morbidity and mortality rates. Drug-resistant pathogens pose tremendous challenges to the healthcare system, including challenges related to the diagnosis, treatment, and containment of infections caused by resistant organisms. These challenges are amplified in the ICU, where the threat of potential drug resistance is one of the major drivers for the selection of empiric antimicrobial regimens. There are not only pressures for selection and emergence of resistance of these organisms but also the highest risks of transmission of drug-resistant pathogens
