Prolonged Carriage of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae and Potential Cross-transmission among Residents in Geriatric Long-term Care Facilities

2021-02-03

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Previous studies indicated residents in geriatric long-term care facilities (LTCFs) had much higher prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) carriage than the general population. Most ESBL-E carriers are asymptomatic. The study tested the hypothesis that residents with ESBL-E carriage may accumulate inside geriatric LTCFs through potential cross-transm...
