Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are among the most critical threats facing our healthcare system and account for significant patient mortality. There is considerable interest in the development of new treatment strategies. However, less attention has been paid to reducing CRE infection rates. Antibiotic stewardship programs can be uniquely empowered to reduce widespread pathogen resistance and by extension, optimize patient care and lower healthcare costs.
耐碳青霉烯类肠杆菌科(CRE)是我们的医疗体系面临的最严重威胁之一,也是导致患者死亡的主要原因。人们对新的治疗策略的开发非常感兴趣。然而,减少 CRE 感染率的关注度较低。抗生素管理计划可以被赋予独特的权力,以减少广泛的病原体耐药性,并由此优化患者的护理,降低医疗成本。
