Abstract excerpt
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the resistance mechanisms and molecular epidemiology of carbapenem-nonsusceptible Escherichia coli (CnsEC) in Taiwan. Patients and methods: From 2012 to 2015, 237 E. coli isolates with minimum inhibitory concentrations of imipenem or meropenem >1 μg/mL were collected in a nationwide surveillance and subjected to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for carbapenemase, AmpC-type...
