Survey reveals prevalent carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales in South India, suggesting a significant health threat.
Carbapenem resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) have emerged as a major public health threat. The resistance to carbapenem is mainly due to the production of carbapenemases, that hydrolyze the carbapenem & other beta lactam agents. In this study, prevalence of carbapenemase producing Enterobacterales is 11.3% by mCIM (modified carbapenem inactivation method) and eCIM (EDTA carbapenem inactivation method) methods as per CLSI guidelines. 2% of CRE isolates were resistant to colistin by disc elution method.
