Study summary

The objective of the research is to evaluate the value of testing for ESBL carriage by rectal swab to predict the risk of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae infections in intensive care.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patients (≥ 18 years old) * Who have been in medical or surgical intensive care at Strasbourg University Hospitals (between January 1, 2024, and January 1, 2025) * Who have undergone rectal screening for carriage of ESBL/HLC/carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae Exclusion Criteria: * Refusal to participate in the study

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Negative predictive value of a negative rectal swab for the risk of infection with ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae — Up to 12 months
    The negative predictive value (NPV) answers the following question: When the test is negative, what is the probability that the person will not develop an infection with these resistant bacteria? For example: * Out of 100 people with a negative smear test, * if 95 never develop an infection, then the negative predictive value is 95%.
