GONZALEZ MARTINEZ, Obdulio Manuel  and  RODRIGUEZ SATURIO, Sara. Detection, surveillance, and monitoring of multiresistant germs, in the sanitary areas III-IV of Cantabria (2013-2016). Enferm. glob. [online]. 2018, vol.17, n.51, pp.123-143.  Epub July 01, 2018. ISSN 1695-6141.  https://dx.doi.org/10.6018/eglobal.17.3.295821.

In the European Union, according to the Center for Disease Control, die approximately 250,000 individuals per year because of the multidrug resistant bacteria to antibiotics, with an additional cost of €1,500 million to health systems. The World Health Organization has defined as " the great threat to the public health" and predicts that could cause 10 million deaths in the year 2050.

The present prospective study about the incidence of patients carriers of germs multiresistant to antibiotics (GMA), has been done from 2013 to June 2016 in the sanitary areas III-IV of Cantabria; with an estimated population of 200,000 inhabitants, distributed in two local hospitals (Hospital Sierrallana Torrelavega, Hospital of Three Seas Reinosa), 14 health centers and social health centers.

The process was applied monitoring, control and epidemiological monitoring, made from the Preventive Medicine Service Quality and safety of the patient with the collaboration of the Service of Microbiology and Primary Care.

Of a total of total of 3446 patients with germs with GMA, have been negativizar 1083 patients, which represents the 31,42% of the total.

Taking into account that each of these patients remain admitted an average stay of 5 days more than those who do not have these multirresistencias to antibiotics. Has been achieved that these patients once negatives could enter without being isolated and what this presents at the level of health, economic and psychologically; as well as to improve the sanitary resources.

Keywords : Risk factor; Cross infection; Bacterial drug resistance.
