Background Escherichia coli is a leading cause of bloodstream infections. Developing interventions to reduce E coli infections requires an understanding of the frequency of nosocomial transmission, but the available evidence is scarce. We aimed to detect and characterise transmission of E coli and associated plasmids in a hospital setting. Methods In this prospective observational cohort study, patients were...
