- Infections from carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) and other resistant strains present a significant global health issue, with this study focusing on their distribution in Spain from 2014 to 2018.
- A national retrospective study analyzed 2,704 cases of carbapenemase-producing microorganisms, identifying 84.7% as carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) and 15.3% as carbapenemase-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CPPA), using molecular methods for accuracy.
- The findings indicate that OXA-48-like and VIM carbapenemases were the most common in Spain, with regional variations in prevalence and a noticeable increase in OXA-
