Laboratory Detection of Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacterales: Phenotypic and Molecular Approaches - A Narrative Review
Background: Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) are a critical-priority pathogen group on the World Health Organization's 2024 list. Most clinically significant carbapenem resistance in Enterobacterales is mediated by acquired carbapenemases, chiefly KPC, NDM, VIM, IMP and OXA-48- like enzymes. Accurate and tim...
