The rapid spread of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae [PDF]
Carbapenems, our one-time silver bullet for multidrug resistant bacterial infections, are now threatened by widespread dissemination of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE). Successful expansion of Enterobacteriaceae clonal groups and frequent horizontal gene transfer of carbapenemase expressing plasmids are causing increasing carbapenem ...

Carbapenem resistance in Enterobacteriaceae: here is the storm! [PDF]
The current worldwide emergence of resistance to the powerful antibiotic carbapenem in Enterobacteriaceae constitutes an important growing public health threat. Sporadic outbreaks or endemic situations with enterobacterial isolates not susceptible to carbapenems are now reported not only in hospital settings but also in the community. Acquired class A (

Optimizing therapy in carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae infections
Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2018Purpose of review In the absence of randomized clinical trial data, questions remain regarding the optimal treatment of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infections. CRE have historically been susceptible to polymyxins, tigecycline or aminoglycosides (mostly gentamicin), and these antibiotics have long been ...
