Abstract

This study from a South Indian tertiary care hospital found a 41% peri-rectal Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales colonization prevalence at intensive care unit admission, with New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase as the predominant carbapenemase. It underscores the need for contextually appropriate, cost-effective infection prevention strategies to mitigate the spread of resistant organisms in Indian healthcare settings.
