    Summary
    Transmission of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae in households outweighs nosocomial dissemination in the non-outbreak setting. Importation of ESBL producers into the hospitals is as frequent as transmission during hospital stay. ESBL-Klebsiella pneumoniae might be more efficiently transmitted within the hospital than ESBL-Escherichia coli
