Handwashing sinks as reservoirs of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in the intensive care unit: a prospective multicenter study

IntroductionThe extent to which sinks are contaminated by carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) in intensive care units (ICUs) and the association between these contaminated sinks and hospital-acquired CRAB infections during the non-cluster period remains largely unknown. Here, we perf...
