Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacterales

Antimicrobial resistance is a growing global problem. The increasing antimicrobial resistance of Enterobacterales limits treatment options to combat infection. Carbapenems are commonly used for infections involving multidrug-resistant organisms. Unfortunately, some bacteria have developed mechanisms that inactivate this class of antibiotics. These organisms are known as carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE). CRE are defined by resistance to at least 1 carbapenem or the presence of a carbapenemase. Mechanisms of carbapenem resistance include carbapenemase production, efflux pumps, or decreased porin expression. The development of carbapenem resistance underscores the importance of developing new antibiotics and effective stewardship of antibiotics currently in use. This activity outlines the evaluation and management of CRE infections and reviews the role of the interprofessional healthcare team in evaluating, treating, and managing patients with this condition.
