Background: Hospital drains may be an important reservoir for carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE).
Aim: To determine prevalence of CPE in hospital drains exposed to inpatients with CPE, relatedness of drain and patient CPE, and risk factors for drain contamination.
Methods: Sink and shower drains in patient rooms and communal shower rooms exposed to 310 inpatients with CPE colonization/infection were cultured at 10 hospitals.
