Prevalence and risk factors for carriage of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing enterobacteriaceae in rehabilitation wards in France.

Objectives: Extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-PE) are a major public health concern worldwide. Little is known about the prevalence of ESBL-PE colonization in rehabilitation wards in France. Our aim was to determine the prevalence of ESBL-PE colonization in rehabilitation wards in the Parisian area and to identify potential risk factors for ESBL-PE carriage.
