Vacuum-assisted closure VAC decompression is promising for the management of open abdomen but our limited experience with this system suggests that dissemination of bacteria may occur. Recently two patients were treated with VAC in our intensive care unit ICU . Patient 1 was a 62-year-old man who was originally operated on for paraganglioma and underwent left nephrectomy and gastrojejunal anastomosis. Patient 2 was a 54-year-old woman who was admitted to the ICU two months after a complicated laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy for morbid obesity. In both patients at a certain point during their course intra-abdominal sepsis developed and they were both managed with extensive debridement drainage and VAC placement. Both patients developed fistulas and although dressings and VAC pump containers were meticulously changed leaks were repeatedly observed around the dressings. Furthermore 2 to 4 weeks after the placement of VAC a rise of positive cultures for Gram-negative bacteria was observed in all patients in our ICU Figure 1 . As depicted in Figure 2 Klebsiella pneumoniae species became prevalent in our flora despite barrier measures and the isolation of both patients in a separate ward. In 12 out of 34 cases KPC K. pneumoniae was isolated whereas in one case it was resistant to all antibiotics. Recent literature is inconclusive on this subject. We believe that further studies are needed to confirm the dissemination of bacteria from patients with VAC devices and .
