Actual (reported)This is a prospective multi-center study. Bacterial isolates from hospitalized patients with CA-HRE will be compared to those from hospitalized patients with healthcare-associated HRE (HA-HRE). In addition, community spread of CRE will be determined.

Actual (reported)Proportion of CA-HRE infections
Proportion of HRE cases diagnosed in hospitalized patients that are community-associated out of all CRE cases in hospitalized patients
enrollment - end of study, up to approximately 1 year
Proportion of HRE-culture positive community contacts of hospitalized patients with HRE as determined by stool culture.
In community contacts of patients discharged from the hospital after HRE diagnosis, the presence or absence of HRE in stool samples will be determined by culture. Then, the total number of community contacts with HRE-positive stool cultures will be divided by the total number of tested community contacts to derive the proportion of community contacts with stool cultures positive for HRE.
enrollment - end of study, up to approximately 1 year
Patients with suspected CA-HRE, discharged home after a previous hospitalization or outpatient visit during which CA-HRE was isolated from a clinical culture (approximately 210 patients)
Hospitalized patients with healthcare-associated HRE, who are not discharged home (HA-HRE) (210 selected control patients)
Patients eventually discharged home, either directly or through another facility, after a hospitalization during which HA-HRE was isolated from a clinical culture (100)
Contacts of patients with HRE (approximately 1,500)
Four categories of participants will be included: 1. Patients with suspected CA-HRE, discharged home after a previous hospitalization or outpatient visit during which CA-HRE was isolated from a clinical culture (approximately 210 patients) 2. Hospitalized patients with healthcare-associated HRE, who are not discharged home (HA-HRE) (210 selected control patients) 3. Patients eventually discharged home either directly or through another facility after a hospitalization or outpatient visit during which HA-HRE was isolated from a clinical culture (100) 4. Contacts of patients with HRE (approximately 1,500)

HRE that are recovered either from clinical samples or from Biowipe samples will be sent to a central research laboratory for species confirmation and antibacterial susceptibility testing
