Background odds ratio (OR)=103.81, P =0.009], presence of surgical site infections (OR=76.78, P =0.047), prior carbapenem use (OR=48.61, P =0.001), and invasive procedures or indwelling devices (OR=34.37, P =0.014). CP-CRE isolates exhibited high resistance (70-90%) to fluoroquinolones, aztreonam, aminoglycosides, and tetracyclines, moderate resistance to tigecycline, and the lowest to colistin (2/58, 3.5%). Interpretation & conclusions This study revealed a high prevalence of CP-CRE, predominantly blaNDM -producing K. pneumoniae . CP-CRE infections were associated with multidrug resistance, increased mortality, and risk factors like prolonged hospitalisation, surgical procedures, and previous carbapenem exposure.
