Research Article: The Efficacy and Influencing Factors of Polymyxin B in High-Level Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Infections

Date Published: 2023-06-27

Abstract:
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infections have broken out globally and have become epidemic in several countries. A meta-analysis of original studies showed that CRE-infected patients have a higher risk of death than those infected with the corresponding sensitive organisms, so aggressive countermeasures against CRE infection are important to reduce mortality from infection in patients. Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) infections are the most common among CRE infections, and data from the China CRE Network showed that .% of CRE isolates were CRKP. From –, the rate of CRKP increased from .% to .% in tertiary hospitals in China.
