Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Enterobacteriaceae are a group of bacteria (germs) that are a normal part of the human and animal gut, but they can also cause infections. Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are germs resistant to one or several carbapenem antibiotics. Infections caused by CRE have limited treatment options and are associated with a high mortality rate.

This Special Issue welcomes all submissions related to carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae and aims to develop more effective antibiotic stewardship and infection control measures, promote advances in the treatment of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, and prevent the further spread of carbapenem resistance in Enterobacteriaceae.
