Abstract

Of 1,455 unique patients in U.S. intensive care units (ICUs), 4% were rectally colonized with CRE on admission. A total of 297 patients were initially negative for carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) and remained in the ICU long enough to contribute additional swabs; 22% of these patients had a subsequent CRE-positive swab, with a median time to CRE colonization of 13 days (interquartile range, 7 to 21 days).
