Intestinal Dysbiosis in Carriers of Carbapenem-Resistant .

Infection with carbapenem-resistant (CRE) has become an important challenge in health care settings and a growing concern worldwide.

We aimed to characterize the gut microbiota in CRE carriers, assuming that microbiota alterations precede CRE colonization.
