Carbapenemase-Producing Gram-Negative Bacteria in Andalusia, Spain, 2014-2018.

Carbapenemase-Producing Gram-Negative Bacteria in Andalusia, Spain, 2014-2018. Emerg Infect Dis. 2020 Sep;26(9):2218-2222 Authors: López-Hernández I, Delgado-Valverde M, Fernández-Cuenca F, López-Cerero L, Machuca J, Pascual Á Abstract The emergence and spread of carbapenemase-producing gram-negative bacteria is a major public health concern. We used data collected from microbiology laboratories as part of the PIRASOA program during 2014-2018 to study the epidemiology of carbapenemase-producing bacteria in Andalusia, Spain. Our findings highlight the importance of ongoing surveillance and epidemiologic studies for these bacteria. PMID: 32818413 [PubMed - in process]
