Cross-border differences in the prevalence and risk factors for carriage of antimicrobial resistance in children attending daycare centers : a point prevalence study in the Netherlands and Belgium
Abstract: BackgroundDay care centres (DCCs) are ideal settings for drug-resistant bacteria to emerge. Prevalence numbers of faecal carriage of antimicrobial resistant bacteria in these settings are rare. We aimed to determine the prevalence of faecal antimicrobial resistant bacteria carriage in children attending DCCs and to assess and identify infection risk factors within DCCs in The Netherlands and Belgium.MethodsA point-prevalence study was conducted in 28 Dutch (499 children) and 18 Belgian (448 children) DCCs.
