Observational analysis reveals high carbapenem resistance in long-term care facilities, suggesting urgent systemic changes.
South Korean CRE notifications more than doubled between 2020 and 2024, with no inflection in the trajectory.

Current surveillance cannot identify individual facility reservoirs, requiring structural reform.
