Our @AlainnaJJ showed that risk of household transmission of Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacterales (CPE) is low: 3% of household contacts were colonized due to household transmission🦠🏠👫 However, this has implications for 🏥 screening programs. Read:

Household Transmission of Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales in Ontario, Canada

This prospective cohort study of 95 carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) index cases and 177 household contacts detected 9% of household contacts
