Prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales and carbapenemase-resistant Enterobacterales in British military cohorts
The prevalence of ESBL-PE in cohorts of SP closely matches that of civilian populations in England; however, we noted differences in ESBL genotype distribution. Potential exposure risks for SP from international travel and occupational trauma emphasise the need for repeated surveillance to characterise and detect changes in acquisition epidemiology and carriage of ESBL. Such prospective data have important antimicrobial stewardship implications in optimising clinical outcomes, controlling resistance and guiding empirical antibiotic formulary policy recommendations.
