The spread of carbapenemase-producing bacteria constitutes a worldwide problem of major importance to public health. The detection of these enzymes is often reported by most European countries and infection control measures are implemented in order to limit their dissemination. Despite the strong evidence indicating the Balkans as a reservoir for carbapenemase-encoding genes, especially for NDM-1, data published in the English literature seem to be scarce for many of the Balkan countries. We systematically reviewed studies on carbapenemase-producing bacteria from each country of the Balkan Peninsula and correlated them with foreign reports on carbapenemase detection due to patient transfer from the Balkans to the rest of Europe.
产碳青霉烯酶细菌的传播构成了一个对全球公共卫生至关重要的问题。大多数欧洲国家经常报告这些酶的检测情况，并实施感染控制措施以限制其传播。尽管有强有力的证据表明巴尔干地区是碳青霉烯酶编码基因的储存库，尤其是NDM-1，但对于许多巴尔干国家而言，英文文献中发表的数据似乎很少。我们系统地回顾了巴尔干半岛各国关于产碳青霉烯酶细菌的研究，并将这些研究与因患者从巴尔干地区转移到欧洲其他地区而产生的关于碳青霉烯酶检测的国外报告进行了关联。
