Characteristics of isolated multiresistant bacteria according germ, location and “zero resistance” criteria

Multiresistant bacteria (MRB) development is a growing phenomenon. In 2013, the “Zero Resistance” (RZ) program was launched in Spain, to help prevent the emergence of multiresistant bacteria (MRB) in critically ill patients. One of its recommendations is to complete a checklist upon patient admission in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) to identify those patients at high risk for colonization or infection by MRB*.
