Clinical profiles of patients colonized or infected with extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing Enterobacteriaceae isolates: a 20 month retrospective study at a Belgian University Hospital

Abstract: BackgroundDescription of the clinical pictures of patients colonized or infected by ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae isolates and admitted to hospital are rather scarce in Europe. However, a better delineation of the clinical patterns associated with the carriage of ESBL-producing isolates may allow healthcare providers to identify more rapidly at risk patients. This matter is of particular concern because of the growing proportion of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae species isolates worldwide.MethodsWe unde… Show more

“…In an earlier study, we hypothesized that healthy adults and individuals applying for long‐term care, including those with an extensive hospitalization history, may differ regarding sources of colonization with ESBL producers . It is conceivable that of hospitalized patients are colonized from the hospital microbiota , whereas we postulated that ESBL producers in healthy individuals originate in part from diverse environmental sources .…”

“…Indeed, most previous studies were retrospective or cohort studies [9], [16], [20], [24][27]. In addition, previous case-control studies compared mostly cases to a single control group comprising patients with a clinical sample positive for a non-ESBL-producing micro-organism [17], [21], [28].…”

“…Previous hospital stay, severity of illness, time in the intensive care unit (ICU), intubation and mechanical ventilation, urinary or arterial catheterisation, previous exposure to antibiotics, and urinary tract infections have been identified as risk factors for acquisition of ESBL-producing bacteria during hospital stay [8][9][10][11]. In addition, LTCF residents are considered to have an increased risk of ESBL carriage due to the presumed high risk for acquisition and transmission of ESBL-producing bacteria in these settings, facilitated by antibiotic use, understaffing, and failing infection control measures [12].…”
