Here at Hornsby, we isolate and manage with Contact precautions 1 all Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacter cloacae ESBLs. I know that some hospitals all isolate for E coli ESBLs as well.

Hi all

Just thought I’d bump this question again, as I didn’t get any responses. Surely someone has an opinion on which gram-negatives need to be managed as MROs?

Thanks
