Purpose: Little is known about the epidemiology and carbapenem-resistance determinants of carbapenem-resistant (CRKA) isolated from a single medical center. The present study was initiated to characterize the molecular epidemiology and the carbapenem-resistance mechanisms of CRKA isolated during 2012-2018 from a teaching hospital in southwest China, and to investigate the risk factors and clinical outcomes of CRKA infections as well.

Methods: Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) was employed for epidemiological analysis.

Objectives: Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are a major public-health threat. The most important mechanism of carbapenem resistance in CRE is carbapenemase production. Early identification of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) leads to improved clinical outcomes.

Purpose: This observational study aimed to identify the independent risk factors for both the acquisition and mortality of carbapenemase-producing carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CP-CRE) bacteremia and further assess the in vitro antimicrobial activities of ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ/AVI) and aztreonam-avibactam (ATM/AVI) against recent CRE bacteremic isolates.

Patients And Methods: This observational study was conducted to reveal the risk factors and mortality rate for CP-CRE bacteremia between 2012 and 2018 and also evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial activities of CAZ/AVI and ATM/AVI against recent CRE bacteremic isolates from 2016 to 2018.

Results: A total of 81 non-repetitive isolates were collected from 2012 to 2018, with 67.
