Abstract:Background: Carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) have been reported worldwide. Resistance to carbapenems in Enterobacteriaceae is caused mainly by carbapenemase production or by porin loss combined with the expression of beta (β)lactamases like extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) or ampicillin class C (AmpC). Objectives are to determine the prevalence of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) among 202 clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae by the phenotypic test the modified carbapenem i… Show more
