What people are saying
Several discussions highlight the growing resistance of hospital pathogens to alcohol-based disinfectants, with users mentioning evidence that bacteria, such as Enterococcus faecium, have adapted over time. Phrases like 'What's the new recommendation?' and 'This may need updating,' suggest a proactive approach to reconsidering current practices. The tone across these discussions varies from cautionary to seeking solutions, showing a blend of concern and a drive for understanding.
The majority of discussions indicate a shared concern about the findings, though some skepticism exists regarding the implications.
The subject matter generates significant curiosity, evidenced by many users seeking further information and sharing related content.
While many posts engage with the central issues, a few remain superficial, with less focus on in-depth analysis.
Users perceive the publication’s findings as highly relevant, indicating a strong belief in its potential consequences for infection control.
Abstract in brief
- Alcohol-based disinfectants, especially hand rubs, are crucial for controlling hospital infections, but there's an increasing number of infections caused by alcohol-tolerant pathogens.
- A study found that hospital isolates of these pathogens became 10 times more resistant to alcohol after 2010, making traditional disinfection methods less effective.
- Genetic analyses revealed mutations in the bacteria that help them better absorb and metabolize carbohydrates, indicating that their adaptation poses new challenges for infection control in hospitals.*

@CDC_AR Is the evidence for the recommendations current? "An alcohol-based hand rub is preferred over soap and water in most clinical situations" may need updating https://t.co/am39WsueCf

@myep00 @stillgray They use alcohol in most hand sanitizers that just kills the bacteria, if it were an antibiotic it would be a different story. https://t.co/vWlpqpsckS

@3blue1brown There is a paper I have seen cited in news articles etc. a few times in this context. It suggests that vancomycin resistant E. faecium can be resistant to 23% isopropyl alcohol (5 mins) and that this tolerance increased over time (2004 vs 2010). https://t.co/yVXWzxeOjm (2018).1/6
