Prevalence, antibiotic resistance profile, MBLs encoding genes, and biofilm formation among clinical carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales isolated from patients in Mohammed VI University Hospital Centre, Morocco.

Enterobacterales are frequently a major cause of human infections. The emergence of carbapenem resistance as well as the biofilm formation complicate their management. In this regard, this study aimed to investigate the prevalence, antibiogram, carbapenemase genes, and biofilm production among Enterobacterales.

Dissemination of carbapenem-resistant strains carrying the , and in Morocco.

Background: is a microorganism which has been classified by the World Health Organization in the list of the bacterial strains that pose the biggest danger to human health. This study was performed to determine the susceptibility profile to carbapenems and to detect carbapenemases production in 111 isolates. Among these 30 are environmental isolates and 81 are from the three major hospitals in Morocco.
