Abstract
Across 13 surveys of 590 residents in seven ventilator-capable SNFs, residents in ventilator-designated beds had markedly higher ESBL (48.1% vs 28.2%; aOR = 1.64) and C. auris (38.6% vs 15.2%, aOR = 2.89), but lower MRSA colonization (35.2% vs 45.5%; aOR = 0.47), supporting the need for MDRO prevention beyond current Enhanced Barrier Precautions.
期刊介绍:
Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology provides original, peer-reviewed scientific articles for anyone involved with an infection control or epidemiology program in a hospital or healthcare facility. Written by infection control practitioners and epidemiologists and guided by an editorial board composed of the nation''s leaders in the field, ICHE provides a critical forum for this vital information.
