Successful control of an environmental reservoir of NDM-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae associated with nosocomial transmissions in a low-incidence setting
The implementation of multimodal IPC measures, including waterless patient care combined with the replacement and disinfection of P-traps and connecting pieces, was successful in the control of NDM-KP after eight months. In a low-incidence setting, this approach has made it possible to pursue the objective of zero transmission of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE).
