Risk Factors for Gastrointestinal Colonization and Acquisition of Carbapenem-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria among Patients in Intensive Care Units in Thailand

Year: 2018

Type: article

Study design: Observational Study

Abstract: (1 case) isolates from other patients who were admitted during the same period of time. This is the first Indochinese study screening patients, examining patients for the carriage of CR-GNB, and further demonstrating the transfer of CR-GNB isolates in ICUs. Our study suggests that effective infection control measures are required to limit the spread of CR-GNB within hospitals.
