1432. Population-based Surveillance of Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) in Alameda County 2017-2020

摘要

Infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), especially those that are carbapenemase-producing (CP), are difficult to treat and result in high mortality— the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) designates CRE an urgent level threat to public health. Alameda, a northern California county with 1.67 million residents, mandates submission of all carbapenem-resistant isolates Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp., and Enterobacter spp. We assessed the genetic profiles of CRE isolates and compared to aggregate US data from the same time period.
