Newest firstCarbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is recognized as an urgent public health threat due to its multidrug resistance and ability to spread rapidly in healthcare facilities. The frequent movement of colonized and infected patients between different facilities makes it challenging to discern where individual patients acquire CRKP, and in turn, identify facilities making the greatest contributions to reg…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundCarbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) harboring blaKPC have been endemic in Chicago-area healthcare networks for more than a decade. During 2016-2019, a series of regional point prevalence surveys identified increasing prevalence of blaNDM-containing CRE in multiple long-term acute care hospitals (LTACHs) and ventilator-capable skilled nursing facilities (vSNFs). We performed a genomic epidemiology…
Open article record in new tab ↗Clostridioides difficile is the leading cause of healthcare-associated infectious diarrhea. However, it is increasingly appreciated that healthcare-associated infections derive from both community and healthcare transmission, and that the primary sites of C. difficile transmission may be strain dependent. We conducted a multisite genomic epidemiology study to assess differential genomic evidence of healthcare vs.…
Escherichia coli sequence type 131 H30 has garnered global attention as a dominant antimicrobial-resistant lineage of extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli, but its transmission dynamics remain undefined. We applied whole genome sequencing to identify putative transmission clusters among clinical isolates of H30 from children across the U.S. Of 126 isolates, 17 were involved in 8 putative transmission clusters; 4 clu…
