What is Carbapenem Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE)?
Carbapenem Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are a family of germs that are difficult to treat because they have high levels of resistance to antibiotics, including the carbapenems, which are often considered the last line of defense for treating multidrug-resistant infections. CRE can cause serious infections in the bloodstream, urinary tract, and other body parts.
