Local prevalence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing Enterobacteriaceae intestinal carriers at admission and co-expression of ESBL and OXA-48 carbapenemase in Klebsiella pneumoniae: a prevalence survey in a Spanish University Hospital.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To assess the prevalence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) faecal carriers at admission in a University Hospital in Spain.

Design

Prevalence survey.

Setting

Pneumology, gastroenterology, urology and neurosurgery units at a university tertiary hospital in Madrid (Spain).

Participants

A total of 10 643 patients aged 18 and older admitted from March 2014 to April 2016 with a rectal swab taken at admission or as soon as possible within the first 48 hours.

Primary and secondary outcome measures

Prevalence of ESBL-E faecal carriers and prevalence of ESBL-E infections at admission.

Results

The prevalance of ESBL-E carriers at admission was 7.69% (CI 95% 7.18 to 8.19). Most of the isolates we
