AI Article Synopsis
- Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are increasingly becoming a significant health issue in the U.S.
- The study aimed to assess the practicality of actively monitoring CRE cases in a metropolitan area that hasn't been recognized as a CRE hotspot before.
- The researchers propose a structured approach for CRE surveillance to help track the trends in CRE infection rates over time.
Article Abstract
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are a growing problem in the United States. We explored the feasibility of active laboratory-based surveillance of CRE in a metropolitan area not previously considered to be an area of CRE endemicity. We provide a framework to address CRE surveillance and to monitor changes in the incidence of CRE infection over time.
