MRSA fecal carriage was recovered from both inpatients and outpatients.Four(2.2%) cases carried ESBL-producing Enterobacteriacae in feces.Three(75%) were from intensive care unit(ICU).One patient had both ESBL-producing E.coli and K.pneumoniae from stool as well as E.coli from tracheal aspirate.Two ICU patients with fecal ESBL died.Conclusion:Fecal screening for MRSA and ESBL of all patients at high risk admitted to different hospital wards and ICUs and implementing infection control measures were recommended.展开更多
