Long-term carriage of ciprofloxacin-resistant Escherichia coli Isolates in high-risk nursing home residents.
This paper's objective was to characterize the incidence and duration of carriage of ciprofloxacin-resistant Escherichia coli (CipREc) in nursing homes and to identify those in the O25b-ST131 lineage. The authors found that CipREc occurred frequently in nursing home residents and is carried for long durations, and that reacquisition following clearance is common.
