Quantifying within-household transmission of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing bacteria

Abstract: There is frequent transmission of ESBL-producing bacteria in households, which may contribute to the observed endemicity of ESBL carriage in the Netherlands. However, the population model suggests that there is not a single dominant acquisition route in the community.

“…The high CRE colonisation rate among hospital patients results in a high risk for spread within the family and community when CRE colonised patients are discharged. 33 Implementation of IPC strategies is particularly important when neonates are discharged, since parents and others in the household take care of them and their faeces (changing diapers), which may lead to transmission of CRE within the family and near environment. What can be done to reduce colonisation and prevent infections caused by CRE?…”

“…They indicated humans as the most important cause; however, the other sources also represented a large reservoir of ESBLs. In our model, we included the daily probability of ESBL-EC background acquisition from a recent study and based on a speci c epidemiological situation in Dutch population [3]. This value was much lower that the probability of colonisation due to cross-transmission considered here.…”

“…We observed no signi cant increase or decrease of acquired ESBL-producing bacteria after the intervention, neither did Thompson & al (17) when similar interventions were performed. Numerous studies have been reported that nowadays the transmission are predominant in the community (18,19). Acquisition of ESBLE seems to be much more common in the community than in healthcare setting.…”
