Of 1,455 unique patients in U.S. intensive care units (ICUs), 4% were rectally colonized with CRE on admission. A total of 297 patients were initially negative for carbapenem-resistant (CRE) and remained in the ICU long enough to contribute additional swabs; 22% of these patients had a subsequent CRE-positive swab, with a median time to CRE colonization of 13 days (interquartile range, 7 to 21 days). Patients colonized with carbapenemase-producing CRE were more likely than those colonized with non-carbapenemase-producing CRE to develop CRE infections during their hospitalizations (36% versus 3%; < 0.05).
在 1455 名入住美国重症监护病房(ICU)的患者中,有 4%的患者在入院时直肠定植了 CRE。共有 297 名患者最初对碳青霉烯类耐药的 CRE 呈阴性,并在 ICU 中停留足够长的时间以提供额外的拭子;其中 22%的患者随后的 CRE 拭子呈阳性,定植 CRE 的中位时间为 13 天(四分位距,7 至 21 天)。与定植非产碳青霉烯酶 CRE 的患者相比,定植产碳青霉烯酶 CRE 的患者在住院期间更有可能发生 CRE 感染(36%比 3%;<0.05)。
