Abstract

Multi-drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria are of major clinical concern. The increasing prevalence of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE), resistant to all beta-lactams including carbapenems and able to colonize the large intestine, represents a key threat. Rapid, accurate detection of intestinal CPE colonization is critical to minimize transmission, and hence reduce costly, difficult-to-treat CPE infections. There is currently no 'gold standard' CPE detection method. A survey of diagnostic laboratories in England found considerable heterogeneity in diagnostic CPE testing methods and procedures.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 814. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 28 October 2019.
All research outputs
#22,801
of 25,385,509 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Hospital Infection
#5
of 4,045 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#421
of 340,782 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Hospital Infection
#2
of 67 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,385,509 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 99th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,045 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 15.9. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 340,782 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 67 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its contemporaries.
