title: [Hygiene, Screening and Management of Multidrug-Resistant Pathogens (3MRGN, 4 MRGN, MRSA) in Urology].
abstract: The increasing development of resistance to antibiotics has fatal consequences for the treatment of infectious diseases. One of the main causes is the inappropriate use, and therefore overuse, of these substances. Today, multidrug-resistant pathogens are a major problem for facilities of the public health system, especially for hospitals. Pathogens of particular interest are methicillin-resistant S. aureus and multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria. Adapted hygienic measures, effective screening and functioning management of affected patients are required to reduce the risk of infection for patients and staff as well as the spread of pathogens.
