To assess microorganism transfer potential, we conducted an in\u2010depth assessment of microorganism transfer during 10 rehabilitation sessions. Microorganism transfer was defined as the identification of a microorganism on a destination surface that was uncontaminated before the rehabilitation session. Patient frequency of common area usage was also assessed qualitatively.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We obtained 1338 common area specimens from 180 monthly facility visits, of which 13.4% (179\/1338) were MDRO positive: MRSA, 3.8%; VRE, 5.8%; and R\u2010GNB, 5.1%. A total of 64% (116\/180) of sampling visits had at least one MDRO\u2010positive common area specimen. Within rehabilitation gyms, we obtained 521 equipment and 190 personnel hand specimens during 60 monthly visits. Of the equipment specimens collected, 7.7% (40\/521) were MDRO positive: MRSA, 2.5%; VRE, 4.0%; and R\u2010GNB, 1.9%. Of the 190 rehabilitation personnel hand specimens collected, 3.7% (7\/190) were MDRO positive. Overall, 55% (33\/60) of rehabilitation gym visits had at least one MDRO\u2010positive specimen. Microorganism transfer assessment during 10 rehabilitation sessions revealed 35 opportunities for transfer during which microorganism transfer occurred in 17.1% (6\/35) of opportunities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      NH common areas and rehabilitation gyms are MDRO reservoirs that may contribute to the transmission of healthcare\u2010associated pathogens. Because NHs accommodate the increasing short\u2010stay patient population, developing effective interventions that reduce MDRO transmission in the common area and rehabilitation gym environment should be considered an infection prevention priority.\n                      <jats:bold>J Am Geriatr Soc 68:478\u2013485, 2020<\/jats:bold>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n
