Abstract
We sought to determine the frequency of horizontal transmission of antibiotic-resistant gram-negative bacilli (ARGNB) in a pediatric intensive care unit during a nonoutbreak period. Among 5,300 admissions over 39 consecutive months, 13 ARGNB clusters involving 35 children were identified by pulsed-filed gel electrophoresis analysis, which suggests that person-to-person transmission was uncommon.
