Hospital-acquired infections due to carbapenem-resistant .

Background & Objectives: During the course of a retrospective survey on healthcare associated infections (HAIs) due to carbapenem-resistant organisms, an unusual prevalence of HAIs due to carbapenem-resistant Providencia stuartii (CRPS) was found. Hence this study aimed to conduct the occurrence of P. stuartii associated HAIs with special reference to the drug resistance profiling of these isolates.

Reservoir of Carbapenem-Resistant in the Hospital Environment and Colonization Pressure: A Surveillance-Based Study in Indian Intensive Care Unit.

The endemicity of in intensive care units (ICUs) is a serious concern. We studied the reservoirs of in the ICU and their effects on colonization pressure and transmission. A prospective surveillance (6 months) was conducted.
