High rate of multidrug-resistant organism colonization among patients hospitalized overseas highlights the need for preemptive infection control.

Abstract：

:We performed 4 years of active screening for multidrug resistant organism (MDRO) colonization among patients with a history of overseas hospitalization. Thirteen (56.5%) of 23 cases were positive for MDROs, which highlights the importance of preemptive infection control to prevent the spread of MDROs in this population.
