Overview

Retrospective analysis of CRE colonization among hospitalized patients, indicating significant mortality risks.

Key Points

  • The overall carriage rate of carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae was 6%, with specific strains identified.
  • Among patients with positive rectal swabs, 33% mortality was observed in those with positive blood cultures and negative rectal swabs.
  • Colonization of CRE increases the risk of infection by multidrug-resistant bacteria, impacting prognosis severely.
  • Procedures implemented after identifying carriers have kept the prevalence of colonization low in the hospitalized cohort.
