4 Apr 2018
Abstract excerpt
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) has been considered a serious global threat, but carbapenem resistance remains relatively uncommon in E. cloacae, especially in China. The aim of this study was to characterize carbapenem-resistant E. cloacae (CR-ECL) isolates from 2012 to 2016 in Southwest China. Our study revealed that 20 (15.2%) of the 132 CR-ECL isolates obtained from patients were identified as...
