Detection of Escherichia coli ST131 complex (ST705) and Klebsiella pneumoniae ST15 among fecal carriage of extended-spectrum betalactamase- and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae.

In conclusion, the present study reveals that fecal carriage of ESBL is common among inpatients and outpatients whereas carbapenemases producers are only present in the hospital setting. Therefore, active surveillance will be useful to reduce transmission of antimicrobial resistant bacteria and prevent the infection. PMID: 27902381 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
