Carbapenemase-producing in community settings: a cross-sectional study in Belgrade, Serbia.

The types of carbapenemases and clonal relatedness among community isolates of carbapenemase-producing in Belgrade, Serbia, were determined. During the period 2016-2020, community isolates were screened for carbapenemases, and carbapenemase production was confirmed by multiplex PCR. Clonality was determined based on genetic profiles obtained by enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus PCR.
