Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients that are hospitalised on a non-ICU, non-hemato-oncology, non-transplantation ward, and are colonised or infected with ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Patients with an age of less than 18 years; 2. Patients who refuse or are unable to give permission for using patient-specific data; 3. Patients that are known to be colonised or infected with a microorganism that requires isolation in a single room, e.g. highly resistant Acinetobacter spp., highly resistant Streptocococcus pneumoniae, highly resistant Enterococcus faecium, MRSA, and (multiresistant) Mycobacterium tuberculosis; 4. Patients that are colonised or infected with ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae of the same* species and with the same antibiogram as that of an isolate that has been detected previously in clinical cultures of previously included index patients or ward mates that are at that moment still hospitalised on the same ward.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The transmission rate of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae, i.e. the proportion of index patients in which transmission of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae to a ward mate occurs. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. The transmission rate of mobile genetic elements harbouring resistance genes that encode for ESBL, i.e. the proportion of index patients in which transmission of mobile genetic elements to a ward mate occurs; 2. The occurrence of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae in clinical cultures from hospitalised patients; 3. The prevalence of colonisation with ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae in hospitalised patients; 4. All-cause mortality at 28 days and after 6 months. | — |
