Zusammenfassung:	Our study's results provide promising evidence for the incorporation of a high-sensitivity carbapenem-resistant (CRAB) screening method in healthcare settings. Such an approach could prove beneficial in enhancing infection prevention and control measures, leading to improved patient outcomes and potentially alleviating the burden of CRAB in healthcare systems.
