This study aimed to identify risk factors for remote infection (RI) within 30 days after colorectal surgery.

The alarming growth of antimicrobial resistance organisms (AMRs) and the threat caused by health care–associated infections require hospitalized individuals who are infected or colonized with AMRs to be cared for in isolation, predominantly in single
