Abstract
Our study highlights the need to screen multiple anatomic sites to diagnose carriage and identifies risk factors for XDR-Ab bacteraemia. A multimodal intervention that included daily chlorhexidine baths for cases was rapidly followed by the termination of the outbreak. Hospitals should consider similar interventions when managing future XDR-Ab outbreaks.
