Kill these germs

Research shows that society underestimates the danger of resistant bacteria. Thousands fall victim to them. And soon, nothing could help.

The germ, which is about to destroy the harshest medical weapon of humanity, looks under the microscope like a grape, spherical, only a thousandth of a millimeter in size. His name sounds inconspicuous: MRSA.
MR stands for methicillin resistant. The abbreviation refers to the germ as a special, as dangerous. For years, mankind believed that they had found an ultimate weapon against the infectious diseases of the world: antibiotics. Since then, nobody has to die from pneumonia or dental surgery. However, germs such as MRSA have become resistant to almost all common antibiotics in recent years. They are not easy to kill anymore.
One in three, according to an estimate, is now carrying MRSA on the skin or in the nose. That's not bad at first. It gets bad when people come to a hospital, when they are cut open and undergo surgery or when a catheter is placed in the blood vessels. Then the germ can get inside the body. He usually walks quickly and triggers diseases that are barely treatable: open and painful wounds, in worse cases pneumonia or blood poisoning. In old and immunocompromised people, these diseases often lead to death.
Resistant bacteria

MRSA methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a resistant bacterial species that has been multiplying since the spread of antibiotics in the 1960's. It is resistant to all so-called beta-lactam antibiotics, that is antibiotics whose structure is based on penicillin. In general, MRSA Bacteria are also resistant to other antibiotics, so multi-resistant. Therefore, some use the Abbreviation MRSA also for multi-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

ESBL Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamases are enzymes that can cleave beta-lactam-containing antibiotics. So-called ESBL-producing bacteria are thus resistant to these antibiotics. Like other antibiotic-resistant bacteria, they should be treated as widely as possible with carbapenems.
VRE Vancomycin-resistant enterococci are streptococcus-related bacteria that are resistant to the reserve antibiotic vancomycin. Because of many other antibiotic resistances, the treatment Options for VRE are severely limited.

CARPAPENEME carbapenems belong to the group of beta-lactam antibiotics. However, since their basic structure has a high resistance to the destructive enzymes of the bacteria, they are used as so-called reserve   antibiotics - when conventional antibiotics stop working. Because of strong side effects, such as new resistance, they are used only in difficult to control infections. But there are increasing cases of bacteria that are also resistant to this reserve.

LIFE The survival of germs such as MRSA or VRE on surfaces such as door handles can not be  determined seriously. It depends on too many factors: texture of the surface and amount of germs, temperature and humidity affect the duration of their existence. However, it can be assumed that the germs can survive for several weeks under certain conditions.
The duration of the so-called colonization of a person even by the germs can not be determined in principle. MRSA (nasal) and VRE (usually rectal) can last a lifetime in the human body, just as well, but the pathogens can disappear even after a few days by itself. Influencing factors on the colonization time can be the location of the colonization or the treatment with antibiotics.
We have important information on: 

UV-C light, with a wavelength of 253.7 nm, 
UV light, with a wavelength of 450 nm, 
UVC treatment of bacterial suspensions, microbiology examinations 
and 
Petri dish with bacteria, on black background.

Procedure with contact and rapid tests

 

1.    For disinfection with UV-C light and contact tests, a few test points are defined and marked in order to record the           same test points as precisely as possible in the test before.

2.    The “before-test” is taken at the previously determined test points (please mark and label with adhesive tape).

3.    Perform the 1st test!

4.    Clean the room (s) to be disinfected, mattresses or carpets as usual.

5.    The point in time between cleaning the 1st and the 2nd test should normally be entered immediately.

6.    In order to achieve real results, please do not open any windows or doors to the outside after cleaning (please               avoid external influences).

7.    The Petri dishes are labeled using the following procedure: test point 1 = 1 / I, for before and 1 / II, for after, test           point 2 = 2 / I, for before and 2 / II for after, etc., the test points are in one Protocol precisely defined andrecorded.

8.    If you can, please take a photo.

9.    After disinfection, the "after-test" is carried out at the same test points.

         1. = By the operating site to be disinfected.

         2. = By the executing company.

A quick test can also be carried out in the before-and-after procedure in order to show a result in advance.

The test report of the microbiology examination will be sent to the company (1) or the client (2) immediately upon receipt.

At various sites and institutions, we did tests for them to illustrate all of them here, they would probably distract too       much from the essential and not point out the "special area of responsibility" for them.                                                   

That is why we offer you a special request to request the tests relevant for you via PDF, we will send them to you            immediately.
