Study summary
Severe infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) represent a challenge for the clinicians, considering the high mortality rate of these infections. Data regarding the prevalence of CRE, clonal analysis, resistant genes (resistome) and virulence genes (virulome) molecular analyses, and clinical outcomes of infected patients are scarce. Thus, creating a network to Standardize and implement microbiological sourveillance could be crucial to answer this challenge. Our group consisting of the, UOC of Infectious Diseases and UOC of Microbiology (Prof Sanguinetti), the Microbiology Unit of the University of Catania (Prof. Stefania Stefani), the local Infectious Disease Unit (Dr Carmelo Iacobello) the Microbiology Unit of the "Magna Graecia'' University (Prof. Giovanni Matera) and the UOC of Infectious and Tropical Diseases UMG Catanzaro Prof Enrico Maria Trecarichi, has already started a project with promising ad interim results on this topic.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- prevalence of the susceptibility/resistance — 12 months
prevalence of the susceptibility/resistance patterns of ceftazidime- avibactam, meropenem-vaborbactam and cefiderocol in all the CRE isolates
