We aimed to assess whether an isolation strategy of contact precautions in a multiple-bed room was non-inferior to a strategy of contact precautions in a single-bed room for preventing transmission of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae. We did a cluster-randomised, crossover, non-inferiority study ...
As previously done for the control of methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus,many hospitals have established screening strategies for early identification of patients being carriers of ESBL producers in general and ESBL-E in particular, and have implemented contact precautions (CP) for infected and ...
Conclusions:During the R-GNOSIS project, contact precautions were not effective in reducing the ESBL-E transmission but may have had a positive collateral effect on the CPE containment.doi:10.1016/j.eimc.2020.05.013Marta Hernandez GarciaCristina Diaz Agero Perez...
Out of 152 unexpected HR-GNR positive patients, 35 patients (23.0%) met our inclusion criteria for index patient. ESBLE. coliwas found most frequently (n=20, 57.1%), followed by Q&AE. coli(n=10, 28.6%), ESBLK. pneumoniae(n=3, 8.5%), ESBLR. ornithinolytica(n=1, 2.9%) and ...
The estimated rate of spread of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae鈥攊n particular, Escherichia coli鈥攚as low in a tertiary care university-affiliated hospital with high levels of standard hygiene precautions. The low level of nosocomial transmission and the rapid emergence of community-acquired ESBL ...
