Abstract

with CR. Upon admission, any previous hospital stay of the given patient within the previous 12 months should be determined. Infection control strategies such as screening measures need to be adapted to these patient groups in hospital settings. In order to reflect the varying determinants in "nosocomial" cases in greater detail, the existing criteria used to characterize "nosocomial detection" of gram-negative bacteria with CR should be reviewed.
