Background: Intensive care unit (ICU) infections cause major health and financial problems worldwide. Inanimate surfaces and environmental contamination can play a role in the cross-infection of pathogens and associated patient infection. Here, we aimed to identify the pathogens that are present in the ICUs.
Methods: This study analyzed bacterial cultures on 160 environmental samples from the ICU at a tertiary hospital in Incheon.
Results: From cultures of 160 samples, 407 bacteria of 38 species were isolated; of these, 109 (26.8%) were gram-negative and 298 (73.2%) were gram-positive. The common isolation sites were keyboards (38 strains), bed linen sheets (average head, waist, and foot seats) (36 strains), bedside rails (33 strains), and curtains (27 strains). The common bacteria isolated were coagu-lase-negative staphylococci (CNS) (222 strains, 54.5%), Acinetobacter baumannii (48 strains, 11.8%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (33 strains, 8.1%), and Enterococcus faecium (24 strains, 5.9%). A total of 60 multidrug-resistant strains were isolated. There were multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MRAB) (n=32), multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MRPA) (n=2), vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) (n=20), and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) (n=6).
Conclusion: It was confirmed that large numbers of multidrug-resistant bacteria, such as VRE and CRE, colonized the environment in the ICU of this tertiary hospital. Taken together, the findings of this study will inform consideration of new intervention plans for in-hospital medical infection control programs in the future, especially in critical care units.

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) include a broad range of infections. In the past, this term was only used for hospital or nosocomial infections, but currently, it includes medical services associated with infections and healthcare-associated infections, even if the patient is not in a medical facility [1]. HAI has long been a key issue affecting health care quality, thereby leading to increased mortality rates and medical costs, especially when multidrug-resistant bacteria infect inpatients in an intensive care unit (ICU) [2,3].
The extensive use of antibiotics in the ICUs limits the choice of the next treatment, a situation which can lead to the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria. Patients in the ICUs have a high risk of infection for several reasons, including underlying illnesses, immunosuppression, and various medical treatments, such as the use of mechanical ventilation, central venous catheters, and urinary tract catheters. Several studies have reported that the medical infection rates in ICUs are 5-10 times higher than those in general hospital wards [4-7].
Such infections are known to be caused by microorganisms that are present on the hands of healthcare professionals or the beds of patients; in addition, these may also be caused by frequent contact with medical devices and healthcare professional work stations involving equipment, such as telephones, keyboards, and medical records. Gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria are known to be viable for several months under dry surface conditions, and their viability increases under moderate humidity and low temperature conditions. The rate of cross-contamination of microorganisms from one surface to another is affected by several factors, including the type of microorganism, medical device usage, humidity, initial microbial distribution, hand hygiene rules, practical application of infection control by nurses, the number of infected patients in the hospital, the structure of the ICU (private or shared rooms), and in-hospital antibiotic management programs [8-12].
In an ICU, various treatments are administered to patients, and many close contacts occur in a day. In addition, medical equipment used to monitor the condition of patients and extend life, is distributed in the environment around the ICU beds. Hence, more elaborate disinfection management is required for areas where healthcare workers (HCWs) are in frequent contact with patients and equipment. Accordingly, confirmation of the microbe distribution in various medical environments may play a crucial role in managing infections in medical institutions and informing the design of new interventions.
In this study, we isolated and cultured bacteria from the hospital environment, specifically the ICU. We also aimed to determine the status of cross-contamination of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the medical environment, by investigating the distribution of medically related infectious disease pathogens, such as carbapenem-resistant
The ICU of the Gil Medical Center (GMC), a tertiary hospital in Incheon, was categorized into two zones, and one bed was designated for study in each zone. Zone A and zone B were in the same ICU, separated by different columns and different pathways. Twenty sites per bed were selected, and environmental samples were collected from these sites every week from 17th October, 2019 through 5th November, 2019 (Fig. 1).
The environmental surface area was wiped using a sterile phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) moist gauze; the gauze was then placed in a sterile bag and moved to the laboratory at 4°C. The samples in the wet gauze were dispensed and plated in 100 μL of Blood agar (Asan Pharmaceutical, Korea), Tryptic Soy Agar (BBL, Fisher Scientific, USA), MacConkey agar (BD BBL, Fisher Scientific, USA), CHROMagarTM mSuperCARBATM (CHROMagar company, France), CHROMagarTM VRE (CHROMagar company, France) and CHROMagarTM Staph aureus (CHROMagar company, France), and cultured at 37°C for 24 h. All colonies grown in the media were isolated on TSA medium, and the bacteria were identified using a mass spectrometer (MALDI-TOF, Bruker). If the score was ≥2.0, the result was judged valid. In the database, calculates an arbitrary unit score value between 0 and 3 reflecting the similarity between the sample and the reference spectrum, and displays the top 10 matching database records. Standard Bruker interpretative criteria were applied. Briefly, scores of ≥2.0 were accepted for species assignment and scores of ≥1.7 but <2.0 for identification to the genus level. Scores below 1.7 were considered unreliable.
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of the isolates was performed using the broth microdilution method with customized Sensititre KRCDC2F, KORN (Trek Diagnostic Systems, OH, USA) and MIC-Strip Vancomycin (MERLIN Diagnostika, Germany), in accordance with the guidelines established by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) [14]. The following antimicrobial agents were used for testing: ampicillin, azithromycin, cefoxitin, ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, imipenem, gentamicin, amikacin, streptomycin, tetracycline, nalidixic acid, ciprofloxacin, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, chloramphenicol, colistin, meropenem, ertapenem, imipenem, doripenem, and vancomycin.
The designation of resistant pathogens is as follows. MRPA and MRAB refer to
From 17th October to 5th November, 2019, a total of four bacterial tests were conducted on the surrounding environment of patients admitted to the ICU every week. Table 1 shows the bacterial separation results from each of the 20 sites in zones A and B. In this study, 38 species of 407 bacteria strains were isolated from the samples obtained from the ICU environment. Of these, 109 (26.8%) were gram-negative and 298 (73.2%) were gram-positive. The common species were coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (222 strains, 54.5%);

From the samples of Zone A, two CREs were isolated from the bedside rail and washstand; six MRABs were isolated from the keyboard, bed sheet, mechanical ventilator, curtain, washstand, and infusion holder; two MRPAs were isolated from the bed sheet and washstand; and VRE was isolated from seven sites: keyboard, infusion pump remote control, bedside rail, bed sheet, vent line, curtain, and infusion holder (Table 4).
Among the drug-resistant pathogens, MRAB was the most commonly isolated, with a proportion of 20%, followed by VRE 12.5%, CRE 6.3%, and MRPA 1.3%. The most common site from which resistant bacteria were isolated was the washstands in both zones A and B. In the case of bed linen on which the patient was lying, VRE, MRAB, and MRPA were detected in zone A, VRE, and MRAB in zone B, and MRAB in the curtains in zone B (Table 4). There was no outbreak of bacterial infection during the study period in GMC.
Various microorganisms exist in the hospital environment. These microorganisms are known to cause infection by several routes, including air transmission (pulmonary tuberculosis, chickenpox, and measles), droplet transmission (including influenza, Middle East respiratory syndrome virus, and coronavirus disease 2019), or contact transmission (multidrug resistant bacteria, such as VRE and CRE) [1]. In-hospital transmission of pathogens usually occurs through the hands of HCWs, who are in direct contact with infected patients; however, it may also occur through the contaminated hospital environment or the hands of HCWs exposed to equipment [15]. Our study demonstrated that there are many bacteria, especially MDR-bacteria, in a real ICU environment; hence, it is necessary to perform routine surveillance cultures or to have environmental infection control programs.
A previous study reported that the surface of a medical device that was in frequent use in an ICU was re-contaminated within 4 h after standard disinfection [16]. Environmental contamination in the ICU can occur not only through equipment that is directly used for patient care (for example, stethoscopes, ultrasound equipment, infusion pumps, and the surface of mechanical ventilators), but also through medical record equipment (for example, medical charts, computer keyboards, mice, and monitoring devices) [8,16].
In one study undertaken from 2010 to 2012, cultures were performed on the samples collected from the hands of ICU HCWs—nurse, doctor, environmental cleaner, guide, and nursing assistant—and the ICU environment: bed, bed linen, nurse station, Ambu bag, patient table, oxygen mask, ventilator, telephone, patient, and medical record file. Approximately 1.4% and 16.5%
Microorganisms that can cause HAI include not only the microbes from the environment of a medical institution or HCWs, but also those residing in the bodies of patients. In general, human skin carries bacteria at a concentration of 4×104-1×106 colony-forming units per 1 cm2, and 106 skin cells are eliminated from normal skin every day. As the eliminated skin cells contain living microorganisms, environmental contamination by microorganisms is common in areas around the patient, such as patient gowns and bed linen [18]. Our study led to the detection of drug-resistant bacteria, such as MRAB, MRPA, and VRE, in patient bed linen.
There are reports that 40%-60% of HAIs occurring in the ICU are caused by the normal flora of patients, and 20%-40% by cross-infection from the hands of HCWs [19,20]. In one cohort study, cultures from the gloves and gowns of HCWs were prepared after treating a patient infected with
The viability of pathogens on environmental surfaces is related to the unique characteristics of microorganisms, such as species, presence or absence of biofilm formation, and distribution concentration, and environmental factors, such as UV irradiation, temperature, humidity, concentration of organic substances, and object surfaces [22-24]. In studies on the viability of bacteria, viruses, and fungi in the medical setting, coagulase-negative staphylococci could survive for 8-21 days on clothing and towels, and
Resistance to disinfectants may be produced by the unique characteristics of a microorganism. For example, the wax layer of the bacterial cell wall and the extracellular membrane of gram-negative bacteria inhibit the invasion of disinfectants into cells; it is well known that the higher the concentration of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, fungi, and viruses, the longer their survival times on environmental surfaces [26]. Biofilm is a three-dimensional structure of microorganisms, formed in a polymeric matrix secreted by microorganisms. More than 90% of a biofilm is composed of exopolymeric substances. Pathogens can form biofilms in the epithelial cells, bones, teeth, and blood vessel linings of hosts, as well as medical and dental devices, such as catheters, various implants, and artificial organs [27,28]. The humidity in the medical environment of the ICU makes it easier to form biofilms, and these are not easy to remove, because biofilms are more than 1,000 times more resistant to disinfectants than bacteria in a planktonic form [29].
This study has several strengths. First, it is most similar to real-world data, in that the environment of the ICU of a tertiary hospital in use was analyzed, and the samples were serially tracked at more than 20 clinical sites. Second, it was confirmed that the positivity rate of MDR bacteria was high, by analyzing the frequency of the identified bacterial strains and checking the proportion of resistant bacteria. These findings can inform infection control policies and infection control interventions in the ICU.
This study also has some limitations. First, it was not possible to demonstrate a direct relationship between cultures from the environment and patient identification in the ICU. Even when strains are identified in the environment, not all are related to patient infection, but they can be considered sufficiently related when considering the frequent procedures and treatments in the ICU. In previous studies, when HCWs treated the patients infected with
Although the number of topics in infection control is very large, the overall focus is mainly on patients, pathogens, and medical staff, while interest in the environment is relatively less. The standard preventive guideline for avoiding HAI is to perform random microbial tests on the samples obtained from the air, water, and environmental surfaces of medical institutions. It is stated that this process should be implemented for the evaluation of environmental conditions.
In conclusion, this study confirmed, based on the results of random bacteriological tests in the ICU of a tertiary hospital, that MDR bacteria, such as VRE and CRE, were distributed in different patterns. This finding suggests that even if an outbreak does not occur, microbial testing of the environment may be necessary. Taken together, the findings of this study will help in designing a new intervention plan for in-hospital HAI management in the future.
