The epidemiological landscape of bloodstream infections in children undergoing chemotherapy or haematopoietic cell transplantation: A retrospective study by Infectious Diseases Working Group of Italian Association of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology (AIEOP)

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Summary Understanding bloodstream infection (BSI) epidemiology is crucial for optimizing antibiotic therapy in paediatric haematology–oncology patients undergoing chemotherapy or haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). However, updated paediatric data remain scarce.

Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae and endoscopy: An evolving threat [PDF]

American Journal of Infection Control, 2016
Several clusters of Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infections associated with contaminated endoscopes have recently been reported. Interim guidelines for mitigating endoscope-associated transmission have been proposed, but there has not been a systematic appraisal of CRE prevention practices.We conducted a systematic review of endoscope ...

Environmental Dissemination of Multidrug‐Resistant Gram‐Negative Pathogens in Djibouti's Wastewaters

Public Health Challenges, Volume 4, Issue 4, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Background The occurrence of multidrug‐resistant (MDR) Enterobacteriaceae‐producing extended‐spectrum β‐lactamases (ESBLs) and/or carbapenemases is increasingly reported in clinical and environmental settings. Here, we aimed to investigate the resistance profile of gram‐negative bacterial isolates from urban and environmental wastewater in ...

Deaths Attributable to Carbapenem-ResistantEnterobacteriaceaeInfections

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014
We evaluated the number of deaths attributable to carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae by using studies from around the world published before April 9, 2012. Attributable death was defined as the difference in all-cause deaths between patients with carbapenem-resistant infections and those with carbapenem-susceptible infections.

Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae: a review of treatment and outcomes [PDF]

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 2013
The emergence of carbapenem resistance in Enterobacteriaceae is an important threat to global health. Reported outcomes of infections with carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are poor. Very few options remain for the treatment of these virulent organisms.

Systematic review of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae causing neonatal sepsis in China

Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2019
Background Carbapenems are β-lactam antibiotics which are used to treat severe infections caused by multidrug resistant Enterobacteriacea. The recent emergence and rapid spread of Enterobacteriaceae resistant to carbapenems is a global concern.
