Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae dispersal from sinks is linked to drain position and drainage rates in a laboratory model system
- Abstract:
-
Background: Hospital sinks, waste traps and drains can harbour carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE).
Aim: To investigate the dispersal of CRE from sinks in which water delivered from the tap flows directly into the drain and from clinical handwash basins with the drain at the rear. The effect of fast and slow drainage rates was also assessed.
Methods: Waste traps, known to be colonized with CRE, were taken from a hospita... Expand abstract
