The Immaculate Carbapenemase Study [PDF]
ABSTRACT Carbapenemase-producing organisms, or CPOs, are Gram-negative pathogens that produce a transmissible carbapenemase and are typically resistant to most (sometimes all) antibiotics. We now face a global CPO pandemic of high mortality. In this issue of the Journal of Clinical Microbiology , Karlowsky

Carbapenemase-Producing Organisms: A Global Scourge [PDF]
The dramatic increase in the prevalence and clinical impact of infections caused by bacteria producing carbapenemases is a global health concern. Carbapenemase production is especially problematic when encountered in members of the family Enterobacteriaceae.

Difference in Susceptibility Between Carbapenemase- and Non–Carbapenemase-Producing Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae [PDF]
Background: Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) remain among the most urgent infectious threats according to the CDC Threats Reports. Although focus has often been placed on carbapenemase-producing phenotypes, there is increasing interest in distinguishing the optimal treatment and outcomes of carbapenemase-producing (CP) and non ...
