What is CPE Screening Information for Patients about?

This factsheet provides information for patients being screened for carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE), which can cause infections if they enter the bloodstream or bladder. Screening involves taking swabs or stool samples, and results are typically available within two to three days. If positive, patients will be cared for in a single room, and if negative, they can return to the main ward; preventive measures include hand hygiene and limited contact with medical devices.
