Contact precautions are used to prevent the spread of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)–producing organisms in acute-care hospitals, but supporting data are lacking.

description Contact precautions are used to prevent the spread of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)–producing organisms in acute-care hospitals, but supporting data are lacking. We discontinued such precautions for ESBL Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp and found no increased prevalence of these organisms with our change in practice.
