“…There were signi cant differences between active surveillance-positive and-negative groups for length of hospital stay before surveillance, length of mechanical ventilation before surveillance, carbapenem antibiotic use 90 days prior to surveillance, corticosteroid use 90 days before surveillance, and surgery 90 days before surveillance; these ndings are consistent with those of prior studies [22,24,26]. Moreover, enteral nutrition before surveillance was not associated with the presence of carbapenem resistance genes.…”

“…Studies have shown that the CRO carrier rate in hospitalized patients is low, suggesting that because of the relatively low prevalence of CRO, it is not cost-effective to screen all ICU admissions [4,24,25]. Highrisk individualized active surveillance in high-risk settings, such as the ICU, helps to detect asymptomatic CRO carriers who can serve as reservoirs for transmission during hospitalization.…”

“…However, these treatments are not optimized and lead to increased resistance rates, including resistance to third generation cephalosporins (10-97%) [13,17]. This highlights the relevance of multidrug-resistance (MDR) bacteria in healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) [8,13,[19][20][21][22].…”
