Abstract
AbstractThe environment surrounding 30 of 31 carriers of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) was contaminated by CRAB. The environmental CRAB loads were similar whether carriers were identified only by surveillance cultures (nonclinical carriers) or also had positive clinical cultures. Screening to detect and isolate nonclinical CRAB carriers may be important to prevent CRAB transmission.
