What is Carbapenem Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE)?
Carbapenem Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are a group of Gram-negative bacteria that are resistant to the class of antibiotics known as carbapenems. These antibiotics are often considered the last line of defense for treating severe bacterial infections. The resistance makes CRE infections particularly difficult to treat, posing a significant threat to public health.
