“…14 However, the overall rate of 10% of residents carrying ESBLE masks different situations in NHs. Similar to observations in almost all NHs participating in the study in 2010, 12 the ESBLE carriage rate among residents of one-third of the NHs participating in this study was low. In these NHs, the combination of a low rate of ESBLE carriage by residents and the absence of similar isolates shared by different residents argues that the spread of ESBLE in these NHs is controlled.…”

“…We demonstrate a high rate of ESBLE carriage (10%) among the residents enrolled, and this carriage rate is much higher than that observed by our first study in 2010. 12 Although the 2 studies are not directly comparable because of differences between the participating NHs, the results we report indicate an increasing trend and a rapid spread of ESBLE in the NHs of our region. Our results are concordant with reports of increasing trends for both invasive infections associated with ESBLE in HCIs 13 and carriage in the community setting.…”

“…There is no published correlation between constipation and faecal carriage, but constipation is a known risk factor for development of UTIs that subsequently can affect the faecal carriage. Exposure to any antibiotic in the 3 months prior to the faecal sampling is associated with a higher detection of ESBL-producing organism; such association was demonstrated in many studies [ 14 16 , 21 , 32 , 33 ]. Several studies identify quinolone intake, and specifically ciprofloxacin, as a risk factor for the development or persistence of ESBL faecal carriage [ 12 , 26 , 34 ].…”

“…Prevalence in long-term care facilities and NHs, in nonoutbreak settings, varied significantly from 1.9% in France [17/877, 2012] [ 21 ] to 64% in Italy [71/111, 2009] [ 15 ] and 40.5% in UK [119/294, 2009] [ 14 ]. The particularly low prevalence in France can be attributed to poor screening method as stated in the study itself.…”

“…Previous studies performed in other European countries have reported a broad range of prevalence of MDRO. For example, in Northern Ireland and in Italy, high rates of asymptomatic carriage of ESBLE were reported (41 and 64%, respectively) while recent study in Sweden and in France, prevalence rates of 3% or lower have been reported [9], [14], [15], [16]. Variations in the screening sampling sites and in the microbiological methods, differences in the definitions of criteria for the targeted microorganisms, differences in the population case-mix and in local practices as well as true epidemiological variations may probably altogether explain this large variability across countries.…”
