Colonization and Acquisition of Carbapenem-Resistant and Carbapenemase-Producing <i>Enterobacterales</i> Among Hospitalized Adult Patients in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
(53.0%) at admission. These genes were detected in (74.1%) and (48.1%) during follow-up, respectively. A substantial burden of CRE and CP-CRE colonization was found, with a high persistence rate. Screening high-risk patients and strengthening infection prevention measures are urgently needed.
