Increased Mortality Among Carbapenemase-Producing Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae Carriers Who Developed Clinical Isolates of Another Genotype
12 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Background Carbapenemase production by carbapenemase-producing carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CP-CRE) is encoded by a variety of genes on mobile genetic elements. Patients colonized by 1 genotype of CP-CRE may be subsequently infected by another genotype of CP-CRE. We sought to determine whether CP-CRE carriers who developed infection with another genotype had a higher mortality risk. Methods A...
