We compared the yield of culturing various body sites to detect carriage of carbapenem-resistantAcinetobacter baumannii(CRAB). Culturing the skin using a premoistened sponge, with overnight enrichment and plating on CHROMagar MDRAcinetobacter, had the highest yield: 92%. Skin is satisfactory as a single site for active surveillance of CRAB.
