Determination of the Prevalence of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae as Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in Nursing Homes in Franche-Comté (France).

This study evaluates individual and collective factors of ESBL and CRE carriage in nursing homes.

Multi-drug resistant bacteria carriage is associated with individual and collective factors wich have to be defined in nursing homes.
