High prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales producing OXA-48 among carbapenem-resistant isolates in a regional hospital in central Taiwan

In conclusion, our study highlights high carbapenemase prevalence in CRE, primarily OXA-48. Multiple carbapenemases within strains were common, and PFGE showed diverse patterns in these carbapenem-resistant isolates.PMID:38030272 | DOI:10.7883/yoken.JJID.2023.213
