  • Beschreibung: <jats:p>Food is an established source of extended-spectrum (<jats:italic>β</jats:italic>-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae. Hand hygiene and cooking prevent transmission, but hands could be recontaminated by touching used cutting boards. ESBL-producing <jats:italic>Escherichia coli</jats:italic> were identified on 12% of cutting boards and 50% of gloves after poultry preparation, pointing to an important source for transmission.</jats:p>
