The role of microbiological monitoring in the system of epidemiological surveillance of hospital infections

Analysis of the prevalence of etiologic structure and antibiotic resistance profile of pathogens associated with health care (HAI) in surgical and intensive care units of the Belgorod Regional Clinical Hospital of St. Joasaph in dynamics for 2014-201

Mobile app as a tool to collect health data: a survey on vaccination against COVID-19

Objective. To evaluate the feasibility of using a mobile app to collect health-related data and the impact of this data collection method on the results obtained, using the COVID-19 vaccination attitude assessment as an example. Material and methods. A survey was conducted on attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccination using the «Know Your Heart» mobile app. A total of 1,770 Arkhangelsk region residents aged 35—74 years who participated in the ЭССЕ-РФ3 survey conducted in the Arkhangelsk region in 2021 were invited to install the application and take part in the survey. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate factors related to application installation and survey participation. Results. Of the total number of subjects invited to participate in the study, 611 (34.5%) installed the mobile app, and 150 (8.5%) participated in the survey. Subjects under 65 were more likely to install the application than those 65—74, as were subjects with a steady job versus those without one. Subjects under 65 years of age showed a higher responding rate to the invitation to participate in the mobile survey. Individuals who abused alcohol were less likely to agree to participate in the mobile survey. The majority of respondents are vaccinated against COVID-19 (81%). Vaccinated subjects and those confident in the effectiveness of nonspecific preventive measures were more likely to have positive attitudes towards vaccination. Conclusion. The low response rate to the survey resulting in an unrepresentative sample determined the low effectiveness of the survey using the mobile app. When overcoming these obstacles, mobile applications have the potential to be used in scientific research due to their high speed, accessibility, and ease of data collection

THE ROLE OF MICROBIOLOGICAL MONITORING IN THE SYSTEM OF EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SURVEILLANCE OF HOSPITAL INFECTIONS

Purpose of the study: Analysis of the prevalence of etiologic structure and antibiotic resistance profile of pathogens associated with health care (HAI) in surgical and intensive care units of the Belgorod Regional Clinical Hospital of St. Joasaph in dynamics for 2014-2015. Materials and methods: The material provided by the results of clinical observation of purulent inflammatory infections (PII) and bacterial complications in patients over the last 2 years. We used conventional microbiological methods for isolating a pure culture of the pathogen and determine its sensitivity to the antibiotic disk diffusion method and by bacteriological analyzer Walk Away. Studies have blood cultures performed on the analyzer BACTEC Becton Dickinson. We used data qLIS laboratory information system containing information about pathogens HAI in dynamics for 2014-2015 years. Results: In the etiological structure of catheter-related infections were the dominant pathogens S. aureus (15.6%) S. epidermidis MRSA (9%). S. epidermidis (1.7%) and K. pneumoniae (11.3%). and Ent. aerogenes (3.5%). In the microbial landscape of respiratory infections and lung leading microflora were Str. species (31.6%), S. aureus (7%) and P. aeruginoza (6.5%). K. pneumoniae (6.3%) as well as fungi of the genus Candida (8.8%). The etiology of skin and soft tissue infections were problematic pathogens P. aeruginoza (11.7%) E. coli (6.6%) K. pneumoniae (3.9%) and Gr + bacteria S. aureus (20.7%) S. epidermidis (8.8%). Urinary tract infections were mainly caused by E. coli (28.5%). K. pneumoniae (9,1%), Ent. aerogenes (7,5%) and E. faecalis (7%). E. faecium (11%). The etiology intraabdominal infections were problematic pathogens P. aeruginoza (10.7%). E. coli (6.9%). K. pneumoniae (4.9%) and S. aureus (17%) S. epidermidis (8.6%) All cases of nosocomial infections caused by CNS .nt. aerogenes (33.3%) K. pneumoniae (16.7%) A. baumannii (16.7%) and S.epidermidis (16.7%). S. haemolyticus (16.7%). Selected strains of microorganisms characterized by multidrug-resistant to most used antimicrobials in the hospital. Conclusion: The problem of the development of rational treatment algorithms for each hospital remains quite relevant. Without predicting microbiological monitoring, the effectiveness of treatment HAI, it is quite difficult. The study of patterns of spread of pathogens epidemiologically important species allows to predict the intensity and nature of patient infection. Status HAI resistance of pathogens to antibiotics is an important parameter for the rational empirical and then the causal treatment and prevention foundation PII in critically ill patients. Keywords: Nosocomial infections, infectious agents associated with medical care, antibiotic resistance

Factors of Formation of Business Activity in an Organization in Innovative Conditions

Currently, our country is in the phase of serious qualitative transformations caused by the need for the economy to recover from the crisis caused by the sanctions of Western countries. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to guarantee sustainable economic growth, to ensure stable economic development of all economic entities, in particular to increase their business activity. The task of increasing the business activity of the organization is of particular importance. The competitiveness of companies is steadily declining, which is associated with the unproductiveness of the business management system and the reasons for its formation.This means that it is necessary to develop fresh science-based approaches and directions that meet the task of increasing the business activity of the enterprise
