Research Article: Clinical and Molecular Characteristics of Carbapenemase-Producing E. coli Strains from Patients with Biliary System Diseases and Hematological Malignancies
Introduction:
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) poses a serious threat to global public health. CRE infections extend hospital stays and elevate mortality rates among patients, resulting in a substantial economic burden on individuals and society. – Recognizing the urgency, the World Health Organization has listed CRE as a priority level among antibiotic-resistant bacteria. According to the definition of CRE, it encompasses both carbapenemase-producing and non-carbapenemase-producing strains. The former constitutes…
