- •
We examined the role of health care workers in transmission of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) in a CRE endemic setting.
- •
Out of 177 health care workers surveyed, none were carriers of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae.
- •
Nosocomial transmission of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae probably does not occur through fecal carriage of the staff.
