Predictive Value of a Rectal Swab With Detection of Enterobacteria (ESBL-E), Carbapenemases, and High-level Cephalosporinase (HLC) on the Risk of Infections With C3G-resistant Enterobacteria

Predictive Value of a Rectal Swab With Detection of Enterobacteria (ESBL-E), Carbapenemases, and High-level Cephalosporinase (HLC) on the Risk of Infections With C3G-resistant Enterobacteria in Intensive Care

The objective of the research is to evaluate the value of testing for ESBL carriage by rectal swab to predict the risk of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae infections in intensive care.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Adult patients (≥ 18 years old)
• Who have been in medical or surgical intensive care at Strasbourg University Hospitals (between January 1, 2024, and January 1, 2025)
• Who have undergone rectal screening for carriage of ESBL/HLC/carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae

Exclusion Criteria:

• Refusal to participate in the study
