Background: A 15-month outbreak of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) occurred in the surgical intensive care unit (SICU) of our institution. We aimed to estimate the financial impact of this outbreak from the perspective of the French public health insurance system.
Methods: The characteristics of the colonised/infected CPE patients and outbreak management according to French national guidelines were prospectively collected.
Multidrug-resistant , including carbapenemase producers, are currently spreading in health care facilities and the community. The Bichat Claude Bernard hospital in Paris faced a prolonged NDM-producing (NDM-CPE) outbreak. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was performed on all isolated NDM-CPE to evaluate its benefits for outbreak surveillance and comprehension.

Their presence in urine may lead to environmental contamination potentially responsible for cross-transmission.
Aim: To evaluate the level of spraying and contamination after emptying urine in the toilet and rinsing in the sink, a common practice in the healthcare setting.
Background: Colonization pressure is a risk factor for intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired multi-drug-resistant organisms (MDROs).
Aim: To measure the long-term respective impact of colonization pressure on ICU-acquired extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-PE) and meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
Methods: All patients admitted to two ICUs (medical and surgical) between January 1997 and December 2015 were included in this retrospective observational study.
