AbstractAn ever occurring problem in the health-care services is the handling of patients who are carriers of multi-resistant pathogens (MRP). As a general rule, these patients must be isolated. Thus, the transport of these patients not only within but also outside of the hospital can be a problem. It is not just a matter of making the necessary transport of the afflicted patient, e.g., to examination suites or operating rooms, possible but also above all of protecting other patients and personnel from transmission and potential infection with the pathogen. As a rule, the measures of "standard hygiene" are sufficient for an adequate protection of patients and personnel. Above all, hand disinfection is of decisive importance.© Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart · New York.
