Prospective Evaluation of Colonization with Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase (ESBL)–Producing Enterobacteriaceae Among Patients at Hospital Admission and of Subsequent Colonization with ESBL-Producing Enterobacteriaceae Among Patients During Hospitalization

Abstract: Rectal carriage of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae occurred in 13 (8%) of 167 patients at admission to the medical departments of our hospital and in 4 (33%) of 12 patients still remaining in our hospital after 2 weeks.

“…In fact, Day 30 to screen patients was chosen, on the basis of those studies. However, R Friedmann et al [19] proved that the rate of nosocomial acquisition with MDR (especially ESBL–producing Enterobacteriaceae ) increased with the length of hospitalization, doubling to 17% by day 4 or 5 after admission and gradually increasing to 33% after 10 or more days of hospitalization [19]. Hospitalization for longer than 14 days in PUCI is identified as the strongest independent predictors of ESBL- KP colonization [20].…”

“…In the authors' own experience, nasal colonization with Enterobacteriaceae is frequent in resource-limited tropical countries, presumably due to limited access to facilities with adequate sanitary hygiene [7], although the gut is the major site of enterobacterial colonization. In an Israeli study, ESBL colonization of the upper airways was lower than colonization of the gut by a factor of 3-4 [8]. However, stool samples are much more diffi cult to obtain, particularly from healthy volunteers.…”

“…Previous use of antimicrobial treatment has been one of the factors more extensively related to identification of ESBL-producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae in patients infected and/or colonized by these microorganisms. [7][8][9] Almost half of the case patients received delayed adequate antimicrobial treatment. Not considering the possibility of an ESBLproducing microorganisms isolation could be the cause of this delay.…”
