- - The study focuses on IMP-type carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) bacteremia cases in pediatric patients at a Tokyo hospital from 2010 to 2020, highlighting the rarity of such infections and examining clinical data and treatment strategies.
- - Five cases of IMP-type CPE bacteremia in children were identified, alongside a review of 24 adult cases; most patients had underlying conditions, and combination antibiotic therapy was associated with better outcomes compared to monotherapy.
- - The findings indicate a high mortality rate (38%) across 29 cases and suggest that combination therapy may improve survival rates; more research is required to optimize treatment for IMP-type CPE bacteremia.
