Rate of colonization of health care workers by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in an endemic hospital: A prospective study

Rate of colonization of health care workers by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in an endemic hospital: A prospective study

Highlights • We examined the role of health care workers in transmission of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) in a CRE endemic setting. • Out of 177 health care workers surveyed, none were carriers of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. • Nosocomial transmission of carbapenem-resist...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • We examined the role of health care workers in transmission of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) in a CRE endemic setting. • Out of 177 health care workers surveyed, none were carriers of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. • Nosocomial transmission of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae probably does not occur through fecal carriage of the staff.
