Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae rectal screening during an outbreak of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae at an acute care hospital
Abstract
We describe the results of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) screening as part of an outbreak investigation of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-producing CRE at a tertiary care university teaching hospital. The manual method for CRE screening was useful for detecting patients with asymptomatic CRE carriage but was time-consuming and costly.
