Role of rectal colonization by third-generation cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacterales on the risk of surgical site infection after hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery.

ABSTRACT: The impact of third-generation cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacterales (3GCR-E) rectal colonization in the development of subsequent infection after surgery is controversial. In particular, there is a lack of data in the context of hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) surgery. The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of 3GCR-E intestinal carriage among patients undergoing elective HPB resection surgery and its impact on the incidence and etiology of surgical site infections (SSIs). This retrospective cohort study (January 2016-December 2022) was performed at Valme University Hospital (Seville, Spain). The inclusion criteria included (i) 18 years of age or older, (ii) undergoing elective HPB resection surgery, and (iii) availability of a periprocedural surveillance rectal swab cu
