Temporal Dynamics and Risk Factors for Bloodstream Infection With Extended-spectrum β-Lactamase–producing Bacteria in Previously-colonized Individuals: National Population-based Cohort Study

Abstract

EPE in urine or feces is a substantial risk factor for subsequent EPE-BSIs, but the risk declines rapidly during the first year after detection. In EPE-colonized individuals, specific risk factors can be used to identify subgroups for targeted interventions, such as eradication therapy.
