What are Multidrug Resistant Organisms?


Multidrug resistant organisms (MDROs) are bacteria and other pathogens that have developed resistance to multiple antibiotics and other antimicrobial agents. This resistance can make infections exceedingly difficult to treat and manage, especially in vulnerable populations such as cancer patients. Common MDROs include Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE), and certain strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli.
