The burden of carbapenem-resistant infection in a large Thai tertiary care hospital.

Carbapenem-resistant (CRE) are resistant to several other classes of antimicrobials, reducing treatment options and increasing mortality. We studied the clinical characteristics and burden of hospitalized adult patients with CRE infections in a setting where treatment options are limited. A retrospective cohort study included adult inpatients between January 2015-December 2019 at Siriraj Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand.
