Risk factors for the development of infections associated with carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae among previously colonized patients: A retrospective cohort study
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2020
Abstract
Not all patients who acquire carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) develop infections by these organisms; many remain only colonized. Of 54 CPE-colonized patients, 16 (30%) developed CPE infections. We identified indwelling urinary catheter exposure, exposure to intravenous colistin, and overseas transfer as variables associated with CPE infection development among colonized patients.
