Résumé
Our infection control team initiated active screening for multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) among children who had been hospitalized abroad before their admission to our hospital. MDROs were detected in 19 of 34 cases (56%), including 3 isolates of Enterobacteriaceae harboring carbapenemase genes still rare in Japan. Early recognition of MDROs by screening this population may be required to avoid the introduction of new modes of resistance into the hospital environment.
