Enterobacteriaceae

The relative prevalence of multidrug-resistant Enterobacterales was 38% higher among people with HIV compared with HIV-negative patients, according to the results of a large study published in Clinical Infectious Diseases.

In terms of preventing transmission, isolating patients with extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae on contact precautions in a hospital room with multiple beds is noninferior to isolating them on contract precautions in a private room with one bed, according to a study from the Netherlands published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases.
