We demonstrated a 20% rate of subsequent carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE)-associated infections among hospitalized CRE carriers. Independent factors associated with the infections were number of colonization sites, central-line insertion, and receiving vancomycin before colonization. These findings underscore the importance of antibiotic stewardship and device-related infection control measures to prevent CRE infections.
我们证明,在住院的耐碳青霉烯类肠杆菌科细菌(CRE)携带者中,后续发生CRE相关感染的比例为20%。与感染相关的独立因素包括定植部位数量、中心静脉置管以及在定植前接受万古霉素治疗。这些发现强调了抗生素管理和与设备相关的感染控制措施对预防CRE感染的重要性。
