Abstract

In 2005, the Dutch Working party Infection Prevention (WIP) published, its “Measures to prevent transmission of highly resistant microorganisms (HRMO)” guidelines. These guidelines provide strict definitions for the indications and measures that have to be taken in patients with HRMO, including for cases of ESBL carriage. In this study we aim to evaluate the implementation of these guidelines with regard to ESBL.
