Current situation of carbapenem?resistant <i>Enterobacteriaceae</i> and <i>Acinetobacter</i> in Japan and Southeast Asia

In the recent years, issues related to drug-resistant bacteria have evolved worldwide, and various countermeasures been taken control their spread. Among a wide variety of bacterial species, carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, including Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAb), are those for which particularly important. Carbapenems last resort antibiotics any infection; therefore, infectious diseases caused by these difficult treat. case CRE, since carbapenemases responsible carbapenem resistance mostly encoded on transmissible plasmids, it is known that susceptible can easily become transfer plasmids between Enterobacteriaceae. addition, common species found in guts animals, humans. ubiquitously isolated environment. Due characteristics, quite prevent intrusion multi-drug resistant pathogens hospitals. Therefore, effective should be developed utilized against such dangerous based molecular epidemiological analyses. this review, there also some examples presented how manage monitor troublesome conducted Japan Southeast Asia.
