Cohorting KPC+ <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> (KPC-Kp) positive patients – a genomic exposé of cross-colonization hazards in a long-term acute care hospital (LTACH)

2020-02-07

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Objective</h4> Cohorting patients who are colonized or infected with multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) has been demonstrated to protect uncolonized patients from acquiring MDROs in healthcare settings. A neglected aspect of cohorting is the potential for cross-transmission within the cohort and the possibility of colonized patients acquiring secondary isolates with additional antibiotic resistance traits....
