Epidemiology of Carbapenem Resistance Determinants Identified in Meropenem-Nonsusceptible Enterobacterales Collected as Part of a Global Surveillance Program, 2012 to 2017

Abstract excerpt

increased from 2.7% in 2012 to 2014 to 3.8% in 2015 to 2017. This increase could be attributed to the increasing proportion of carbapenemase-positive isolates that was observed, most notably among isolates carrying NDM-type MBLs in Asia/South Pacific, Europe, and Latin America; OXA-48-like carbapenemases in Europe, Middle East/Africa, and Asia/South Pacific; VIM-type MBLs in Europe; and KPC-type carbapenemases in...
