Genomic epidemiology and longitudinal sampling of ward wastewater environments and patients reveals complexity of the transmission dynamics of bla<sub>KPC</sub>-carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales in a hospital setting

Abstract excerpt
2. Healthcare-associated wastewater reservoirs and asymptomatic gastrointestinal patient colonisation by carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) contribute to nosocomial CPE dissemination. We systematically sampled wastewater sites (n=4488 sampling events; 349 sites) and patients (n=1247) across six wards over 6-12 months in 2016 to better understand bla KPC -associated CPE (KPC-E) diversity within these ni...
