About

There is a lack of data whether colonization and infection with Enterobacteriaceae of the third group (EB3) affect the outcomes for ICU patients. This study evaluated the effects of EB3 colonization and infection on ICU mortality, ICU length of stay (LOS) and broad-spectrum antibiotic exposure. We focused on the sub type Enterobacter regarding its a priori higher risk of resistance.
