The spread of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) is a threat to healthcare delivery, although its extent differs substantially from country to country. In February 2013, national experts from 39 European countries were invited to self-assess the current epidemiological situation of CPE in their country. Information about national management of CPE was also reported. The results highlight the urgent need for a coordinated European effort on early diagnosis, active surveillance, and guidance on infection control measures.
产碳青霉烯酶肠杆菌科(CPE)的传播对医疗保健服务构成了威胁,尽管其在各国的程度有很大差异。2013 年 2 月,来自 39 个欧洲国家的国家专家应邀自行评估本国 CPE 的当前流行情况。还报告了有关 CPE 国家管理的信息。结果强调了在早期诊断、主动监测以及感染控制措施指导方面开展协调的欧洲工作的迫切需要。
