Fecal carriage of extended spectrum β-lactamase producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae after urinary tract infection - A three year prospective cohort study
Jørgensen, Silje; Søraas, Arne Vasli; Sundsfjord, Arnfinn; Liestøl, Knut; Leegaard, Truls Michael; Jenum, Pål (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-03-07)We have performed a prospective cohort study to investigate the duration of and risk factors for prolonged fecal carriage of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli or Klebsiella pneumoniae in patients with community acquired urinary tract infection caused by these bacteria. From 2009 to 2011, 101 Norwegian patients were recruited. Stool swabs and questionnaires were collected every three months for one ...
