Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: There is limited data regarding environmental reservoirs of carbapenem-resistant organisms (CRO) during non-outbreak settings in resource-limited hospitals, or the role of these reservoirs in healthcare transmission. METHODS: Prospective longitudinal study in which sinks and high-touch surfaces (HTS) were sampled prior to room cleaning in intensive care units (ICUs) in two hospitals (hospital A,...
