*This code indicates only what it says, colonized BUT NOT INFECTED, with an organism. Do not use this code if there is an actual infection (symptomatic or not), for those use the proper infection code.

*If present on admission, code as a [[Comorbid Diagnosis]], not as an [[Admit Diagnosis]]. If applicable, still code [[Isolation, infectious]] in [[CCI Picklist]] .

*We are only tracking colonization with the following organisms that infection prevention and control is interested in:

** MRSA ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methicillin-resistant_Staphylococcus_aureus Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus])

** CPE ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbapenem-resistant_enterobacteriaceae Carbapenemase-producing enterobacteriaceae])

** AMR GNB P ([https://wrha.mb.ca/files/ipc-fact-sheet-amr-gnb-e.pdf AMR GNB])

*There ARE lots of other bugs that can colonize various parts of the body, almost all of which CAN also cause infection. There is a smallish list of bugs that NEVER colonize and are always believed to be active infectious agent, e.g. Mycobacterium TB, Legionella, Ebola, SARS-2 (i.e. COVID-19).

=== No [["set MRSA Colonized" button]] needed ===

* Not required as it is still not nearly as common as MRSA. The same rule applies for determining if it is an active infection for all of the colonized organisms, this is within the MRSA template localized infection vs colonization.

=== Colonizations are not attributed to any units ===

We don't have any reports that attribute colonization to any units, so [[Attribution of infections]] doesn't apply.

== Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition ==

== Candidate [[Combined ICD10 codes]] ==

== Related CCI Codes ==
