Epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients with carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales in a university hospital of Colombia: Enzyme coproductions in rise.

The distribution of carbapenemases in Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) has recently undergone a change in our region. According to the Colombian National Institute of Health, there is an increasing prevalence of NDM and NDM-KPC co-producing strains. We carried-out an ambispective cohort study of adult inpatients from Hospital Universitario San Ignacio (2021-2023), infected or colonized with CRE, in which carbapenemases immunochromatographic assay was performed.
