497. Changing Molecular Epidemiology of CRE from 2016–2018 Increase in the Unknown

摘要

BackgroundHistorically, endemic Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) has accounted for the majority of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) in Los Angeles County (LAC). The LAC Department of Public Health (DPH) initiated enhanced CRE surveillance in 2016 to determine CRE prevalence and track emerging non-KPC resistance mechanisms (IMP, NDM, OXA, and VIM) among CRE to describe characteristics and identify local epidemiology for novel multi-drug-resistant organism (N-MDRO) infection and colonization.
