Identifying risk factors for carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii carriage upon admission: a case-case control study
Pressure ulcers were strongly associated with the carriage of both susceptible and resistant strains of A. baumannii. CRAB carriage was predominantly observed in patients transferred from long-term acute care hospitals, highlighting the need for targeted screening in this high-risk population.
