噬菌体在医院感染防控中的应用研究进展

Research progress and application of bacteriophages in prevention and control of health care-associated infections

  • 摘要: 抗菌药物耐药性问题已成为当前全球公共卫生面临的严重威胁,多重耐药菌感染严重危害患者健康并加剧医疗负担。医院环境中病原体的持续存在及传播是医院感染发生的主要原因之一。传统消毒措施难以彻底清除环境病原体,尤其随着耐药性加剧,多重耐药菌已成为医疗安全的重要挑战。噬菌体凭借其高特异性、高效杀菌活性以及对耐药菌的有效作用,成为应对医院感染的重要替代策略,尤其在多重耐药菌防控、生物膜清除及环境物表清洁消毒等方面展现出显著优势,有望成为医院环境消毒的新手段,并为抗菌药物替代的研发提供新方向。

     

    Abstract: The antimicrobial resistance has posed a severe threat to the global public heath, and the infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) severely endangered the patient' health and increased the medical burden. The persistence and transmission of pathogens in the hospital environment is one of the leading causes of health care-associated infections (HAIs). The traditional disinfection methods have been proven inadequate in completely eliminating the environmental pathogens in clinical settings. As the antimicrobial resistance continues to intensify, MDROs have become a critical challenge to the medical safety. The bacteriophages, with the high specificity, highly efficient bactericidal activity and positive effect on drug-resistant organisms, has become a major alternative strategy for treatment of HAIs, exhibiting remarkable advantages in prevention and control of MDROs, removal of biofilms, cleaning and disinfection of environmental object surfaces. They demonstrate great potential to be a novel approach for environmental disinfection in the hospital, which offers new direction for development of alternative drug.
