National Multicenter Study on the Prevalence of Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae in the Post-COVID-19 Era in Argentina: The RECAPT-AR Study

Abstract

A new epidemiological landscape has emerged, characterized by the equivalent circulation of NDM and KPC. <i>K. pneumoniae</i> remains the primary species responsible for their dissemination. The co-production of carbapenemase combinations, particularly KPC plus NDM, was confirmed, mainly in <i>K. pneumoniae</i>. High activity was observed for AZA against MBLs and for CZA and IMR against KPC and OXA-163 carbapenemases.
