Carbapenem-Resistant NDM and OXA-48- Producing : From Menacing Superbug to a Mundane Bacteria; A Retrospective Study in a Romanian Tertiary Hospital.

Background: Carbapenem-resistant (Cr-Kpn) is becoming a growing public health problem through the failure of adequate treatment. This study's objectives are to describe the sources of Cr-Kpn in our hospital over 22 months, associating factors with the outcome of Cr-Kpn-positive patients, especially those with NDM+OXA-48- (New Delhi Metallo-β-Lactamase and oxacillinase-48) and the effectiveness of the treatments used.

Methods: A retrospective observational cohort study including all hospitalized patients with Cr-Kpn isolates.
