In recent years, increasing evidence supports the association between the healthcare environment and transmission of MDRGN to patients and healthcare workers. To better understand the role of the environment in transmission and acquisition of MDRGN, we conducted a utilitarian review based on literature published from 2014 until 2019. © 2020 The Author(s). | Source Title: | Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/198249 | ISSN: | 2047-2994 | DOI: | 10.1186/s13756-020-0685-1 | Rights: | Attribution 4.0 International |
