Epidemiology and control of carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae in healthcare facilities

Quick fact

In some hospitals, up to 10% of Enterobacteriaceae isolates are carbapenem-resistant, and bloodstream infections with these bacteria have mortality rates exceeding 40%.

Imagine a hospital where common antibiotics fail. A type of bacteria, normally treatable, is now resistant to our last-line drugs. How does this happen, and how can we stop it?
