Association between level of care and colonization with resistant gram-negative bacteria among nursing-home residents
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 March 2021
Abstract
In this cross-sectional study, we examined the relationship between resident level of care in the nursing home and colonization with resistant gram-negative bacteria. Residential-care residents were more likely to be colonized with resistant gram-negative bacteria than were postacute care residents (odds ratio, 2.3; 95% confidence interval, 1.40–3.80; P < .001).
