Emerging superbugs: The threat of Carbapenem Resistant Enterobacteriaceae

AIMS Microbiology, 2020
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are gram-negative bacteria that are resistant to carbapenems, a group of antibiotics considered as the last-resource for the treatment of infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria. CRE constitutes a major threat to health care systems because infections caused by these pathogens are difficult to ...

Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in the community: a scoping review [PDF]

International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 2017
Carbapenem antibiotics are used as a last resort to treat serious Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) infections; however, carbapenemase-producing strains of GNB have emerged as a major source of resistance. Owing to the highly transmissible nature of plasmid-borne carbapenemases, numerous reports have warned about the likely spread into the community from ...
