Management of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in a low incidence area: A six-year experience in a university hospital
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 June 2019
Abstract
We conducted a 6-year retrospective analysis of monitoring of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) in a large hospital in a low CPE incidence area, and we evaluated the “search and isolate” strategy implemented. In total, 40 CPE isolates were collected from 32 patients, and only 1.4% of contact patients screened were CPE carriers.
