The ICD-10-CM code Z16.35 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like infection caused by multi drug resistant bacteria or infection caused by multi drug resistant bacteria or infection due to multidrug resistant acinetobacter or infection due to multidrug resistant acinetobacter baumannii.
ICD-10 Diagnosis Code Z16.35. Resistance to multiple antimicrobial drugs. Diagnosis Code Z16.35. ICD-10: Z16.35. Short Description: Resistance to multiple antimicrobial drugs.
ICD-10: Z16.35. Short Description: Resistance to multiple antimicrobial drugs. Long Description: Resistance to multiple antimicrobial drugs. This is the 2019 version of the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code Z16.35. Valid for Submission. The code Z16.35 is valid for submission for HIPAA-covered transactions. Code Classification.
The type of infection is coded first, followed by a code for the organism—unless the infection code itself describes the organism (e.g. code J13, pneumococcal pneumonia)—and then the drug resistance code. In the case of MRSA, a drug resistance code is not assigned because the infection code identifies the antibiotic.
These include methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant Enterococci species (VRE), carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae, and Gram-negative bacteria that produce extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs).
Bacteria that resist treatment with more than one antibiotic are called multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs for short). Multidrug-resistant organisms are found mainly in hospitals and long-term care facilities. They often affect people who are older or very ill and can cause bad infections.
The patient's primary diagnostic code is the most important. Assuming the patient's primary diagnostic code is Z76. 89, look in the list below to see which MDC's "Assignment of Diagnosis Codes" is first.
Multidrug-resistant TB (MDR TB) is caused by an organism that is resistant to at least isoniazid and rifampin, the two most potent TB drugs. These drugs are used to treat all persons with TB disease.
Multidrug resistant (MDR) was defined as acquired nonsusceptibility to at least one agent in three or more antimicrobial categories.
Abstract. Many different definitions for multidrug-resistant (MDR), extensively drug-resistant (XDR) and pandrug-resistant (PDR) bacteria are being used in the medical literature to characterize the different patterns of resistance found in healthcare-associated, antimicrobial-resistant bacteria.
Contact precautions signs were present for 85.4% of indicated patients. The largest proportions were indicated for isolation for vancomycin-resistant enterococci and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus cultures.

Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is practically incurable by standard first-line treatment. However, extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) is resistant to both first- and second-line drugs due to drug misuse and mismanagement. Therefore, XDR-TB treatment becomes even harder.
aureus (MSSA). MRSA is probably the best example of a prevalent and important multidrug-resistant bacterium that has successfully transitioned from an almost exclusively nosocomial setting to being widespread in the community [29].
While MIC is the lowest concentration of an antibacterial agent necessary to inhibit visible growth, minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) is the minimum concentration of an antibacterial agent that results in bacterial death.
From both good sanitation and poor sanitation type meat samples, 82 (79.6%) isolates were detected as multidrug resistance. Among MDR isolates, Salmonella spp. (85.2%) and Pseudomonas spp. (100.0%) showed high prevalent of MDR....Table 1.BacteriaMultidrug resistance bacteria producing ESBL (%)Total36 (34.9)6 more rows•Nov 7, 2017
More strains of pathogens have become antibiotic resistant, and some have become resistant to many antibiotics and chemotherapeutic agents, the phenomenon of multidrug resistance. Indeed, some strains have become resistant to practically all of the commonly available agents.
Z16.35 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of resistance to multiple antimicrobial drugs. The code Z16.35 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10 codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more. The following references are applicable to the code Z16.35:
