Identifying and quantifying ESKAPEE pathogens in and around sinks in high burden hospitals

2026-03-16

Abstract excerpt

Hospital-acquired infections driven by ESKAPEE pathogens ( Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter spp ., and Escherichia coli ) are highly prevalent. Premise plumbing, sinks and drains, seeds these organisms into patient environments via aerosolization and subsequent surface contamination. We measured viable ESKAPEE pathog...
