The efficacy of infection control interventions in reducing the incidence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in the nonoutbreak setting: A systematic review

Abstract

We conducted a systematic review to examine the efficacy of infection control interventions for the control of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae in hospitals in the non-outbreak setting. Although 4 uncontrolled, retrospective studies were included in the review, no well designed prospective studies capable of informing infection control practice were identified, underscoring the urgent need for research in this area.
