Prevalence and risk factors for <i>Enterobacteriaceae</i> in patients hospitalized with community‐acquired pneumonia

Abstract

This study of adults hospitalized with CAP found a prevalence of EB of 6% and MDR-EB of 1.2%, respectively. The presence of specific risk factors, such as prior ESBL infection and being underweight, should raise the clinical suspicion for EB and MDR-EB in patients hospitalized with CAP.
