Risk Factors and Molecular Epidemiology of Infections Among Patients with Intestinal Colonization by Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae: A Retrospective Study of Active Screening in a Tertiary Hospital
Although the intestinal colonization rate of CRE was relatively low, the risk of secondary infection remained substantial. Bacterial genetic traits and host conditions contribute to secondary infections. Establishing surveillance systems based on clinical and molecular epidemiology coupled with intensified screening in high-risk departments may help identify high-risk patients early and enable proactive interventions to reduce CRE-related secondary infections.
