Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae: Epidemiology and Prevention [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2011
Over the past 10 years, dissemination of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) has led to an increase in the prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) in the United States. Infections caused by CRE have limited treatment options and have been associated with high mortality rates. In the previous year, other carbapenemase subtypes,

Prevalence of Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae and the Genes Responsible for Carbapenemase Production in a Tertiary Care Hospital in South India [PDF]

, 2023
Introduction: Carbapenem resistance in Gram-negative bacilli (GNB) is a major concern in the management of resistant infections. The mechanism of carbapenem resistance is most commonly mediated by carbapenemases. The five most common genes (NDM, KPC, VIM,
