Abstract

Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) pose a great threat to the public health sector as a result of its high communicability, high morbidity and mortality rates. This study investigated the occurrence of carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae and the prevalence of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) producing Klebsiella pneumoniae as a mechanism of resistance. Method: One hundred a...
