High rate of colistin and fosfomycin resistance among carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in Turkey.

This study showed that the resistance rates of colistin and fosfomycin are high. The MDR and XDR strains of CRE are spreading in our region and thus a monitoring system for CRE should be followed. Moreover, the applicability of antimicrobial stewardship programs should be increased in all inpatient and outpatient settings. PMID: 30403361 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
