Environmental contamination by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae.
In the last decade, the global emergence of carbapenem resistance in Enterobacteriaceae has posed great concern to public health. Data concerning the role of environmental contamination in the dissemination of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are currently lacking. Here, we aimed to examine the extent of CRE contamination in various sites in the immediate surroundings of CRE carrie...

متن کاملThe Problem of Carbapenemase-Producing-Carbapenem-Resistant-Enterobacteriaceae Detection.
The emergence and spread of carbapenemase-producing carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CP-CRE) are a significant clinical and public health concern. Reliable detection of CP-CRE is the first step in combating this problem. There are both phenotypic and molecular methods available for CP-CRE detection. There is no single detection method that is ideal for all situations.

The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 1,609 cases of CRE infection in the country in 2013. The risk factors for CRE infection include history of treatment with antibiotics such as cephalosporins or carbapenem, trauma, diabetes, cancer, and h...
متن کاملAre Community-Based Hospitals Safe from Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae in Korea?
Carbepenems are used with increasing frequency to treat multidrug-resistant isolates, especially strains producing extended-spectrum β-lactamases [1, 2]. Resistance to carbapenems has been uncommon among Enterobacteriaceae. However, the emergence of β-lactamases with direct carbapenem-hydrolyzing activity has contributed to an increased prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE...
