LaboratoryMultidrug resistant gram-negative organism classification [Type]
Definition
The identified multidrug resistant gram-negative (MRGN), or multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO), classification such as 2MRGN, 3MRGN and 4MRGN, are reported to facilitate infection prevention and control. 3MRGN means multidrug-resistant Gram-negative organisms exhibiting resistance to three out of the four following antibiotic groups: ureidopenicillins, third- or fourth-generation cephalosporins, carbapenems, fluoroquinolones. 4MRGN means resistance to all four groups.[PMID: 28451516]
