Limited treatment options and a growing global threat from carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infections illustrate the importance of understanding the epidemiology of CRE. Using a retrospective chart review and point prevalence testing demonstrated specific patient risk factors for CRE-positive clinical cultures in a tertiary medical center with a low CRE prevalence.
治疗选择有限,且碳青霉烯类耐药肠杆菌科(CRE)感染的全球威胁日益严重,这说明了了解 CRE 流行病学的重要性。使用回顾性图表审查和点患病率测试,在一个 CRE 患病率较低的三级医疗中心中,确定了 CRE 阳性临床培养的特定患者危险因素。
