No nosocomial transmission under standard hygiene precautions in short term contact patients in case of an unexpected ESBL or Q&A E. coli positive patient: a one-year prospective cohort study within three regional hospitals

	Regional	Hospital 1	Hospital 2	Hospital 3
ESBL	118	40	37	41
Q&A	54	14	20	20

S. maltophilia resistant to co-trimoxazole	1	1	0	0
MR P. aeruginosa	5	3	1	1
Total number of HR-GNR	181	59	58	64
Number unique HR-GNR positive patients^a	172	53	57	62
Number of admissions	61,817	18,837	23,637	19,343
Number of patient days	223,351	57,749	92,070	73,533
HR-GNR incidence rate per 10.000 admissions (95% CI)	27.8 (24.0–32.3)	28.1 (21.5–36.8)	24.1 (18.6–31.2)	32.1 (25.0–41.1)
HR-GNR incidence density per 10.000 patient-days (95% CI)	7.7 (6.6–8.9)	9.2 (7.0–12.0)	6.2 (4.8–8.0)	8.4 (6.6–10.8)

^aRepresents the number of unique patients. During admission, a patient could be positive for more than one HR-GNR type. Therefore, this number is lower than the sum of all HR-GNR subgroups
HR-GNR Highly Resistant Gram Negative Rod, MR multi resistant, ESBL extended spectrum beta lactamase, Q&A enterobacteriaceae or Acinetobacter spp. resistant to fluoroquinolones and aminoglycosides, CPE carbapenemase producing enterobacteriaceae
