The incidences and outcomes of acquiring multidrug-resistant Enterobacterales and enterococci colonization among hospitalized hematologic malignancy patients.

ABSTRACT: This study demonstrated the incidences of hospital-acquired colonization by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-E), carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE), and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) of 22%, 8%, and 8% among hematologic malignancy patients. Difference in time to colonization detection between VRE (14 d) and ESBL-E and CRE (7 d) may inform appropriate surveillance measures.
