An algorithm to estimate the importance of bacterial acquisition routes in hospital settings.

American journal of epidemiology - 1 Oct 2007

Bootsma M C J, Bonten M J M, Nijssen S, Fluit A C, Diekmann O

Abstract excerpt

An algorithm is presented to calculate likelihoods of acquisition routes using only individual patient data concerning period of stay and microbiologic surveillance (without genotyping). The algorithm also produces estimates for the prevalence and the number of acquisitions by each route. The algorithm is applied to colonization data of third-generation cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) from...
