Abstract
Aim of our study was to quantify and compare trends in incidence of ESBL producing bacteria, MRSA and VRE in intensive care units participating in the German Nosocomial Infection Surveillance System (ICU-KISS) over the last five years.
Highlights
VRE in intensive care units participating in the German Nosocomial Infection Surveillance System
Incidence of these bacteria was calculated per 100 patients and density per 1000 patient-days
MRSA incidence stayed stable over time
