説明
<jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title> <jats:p> Fecal carriage of extended-spectrum-β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing organisms was detected in 70% of index cases of patients ( <jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 40) with community-acquired infections due to ESBL producers and reached 16.7% in household contacts ( <jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 54). A total of 66% of ESBL-producing organisms from index cases were indistinguishable from isolates from household contacts by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. Patients with community infections and members of their households represent a reservoir for ESBL producers, increasing dispersal of resistance in healthy people. </jats:p>
