Natural clearance of colonization with vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales: a 13-year study among territory-wide residents of residential care home for the elderly in Hong Kong
The natural clearance duration of VRE and CPE provides useful information to improve guidelines of screening of previously colonized patients, and duration of contact precautions to prevent transmission of these resistant organisms among the vulnerable groups.
