Risk factors for fecal carriage of carbapenemase producing Enterobacteriaceae among intensive care unit patients from a tertiary care center in India

Table 1 Colonization pattern of CRE and CPE among controls and ICU patients

	Controls (%)	ICU
	Controls (%)	D1 (%)	D4 (%)
Total no. of patients screened	122	100	100
Total no. of patients with growth of Enterobacteriaceae	89 (72.9)	63 (63)	58 (58)
No of patients colonized with CRE	14 (11.5)	20 (20)	35 (35)**
No of patients colonized with CPE	8 (6.6)	11 (11)	22 (22)**

CRE carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae, CPE carbapenemase producing Enterobacteriaceae, Non CPE non carbapenemase producing Enterobacteriaceae, D1 Day 1, D4 Day 4. ^** p value significant compared to ICU D1 (<0.05) and controls (<0.05)
