Surveillance of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli in perianal swab samples
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2024
Abstract
Our study aimed to detect carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) and/or carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli in perianal swab samples, exploring their link to bloodstream infections (BSIs) in a tertiary-care university hospital. CRKP-related BSIs ranged from 3.7% to 9.58%, emphasizing the need to understand local risk factors for effective infection control.
