Purpuse: The carbapenem-resistant Bacteroides fragilis group (CR-BFG) bacteria have been reported in several countries recently with increasing global attention. The high incidence of CR-BFG isolated from our hospitalized patients has become an important problem. Therefore, we aimed to determine the frequency and associated factors for intestinal colonization by carbapenem-non-susceptible BFG (CNS-BFG) among adult patients hospitalized at intensive care units, neurosurgery and internal medicine wards in our hospital.
