Journal: | Emerging Infectious Diseases | Abstract: | To determine the duration of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) carriage, we studied 21 CPE carriers for »1 year. Mean carriage duration was 86 days; probability of decolonization in 1 year was 98.5%, suggesting that CPE-carriers' status can be reviewed yearly. Prolonged carriage was associated with use of antimicrobial drugs. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/148802 | ISSN: | 1080-6040 | DOI: | 10.3201/eid2609.190592 | Schools: | Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine (LKCMedicine) | Rights: | Emerging Infectious Diseases is an open access journal published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a U.S. Government agency.
