摘要: After Hurricane Katrina, 50 patients were evacuated to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, with limited medical records. The infection control department ordered contact precautions for 16 patients. Surveillance cultures performed on admission identified colonization multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria 9 (18%). Presence of a wound was the strongest predictor MDR colonization. More data are needed reliably predict bacterial
