Evaluation of PCR-Based Testing for Surveillance of KPC-Producing Carbapenem-Resistant Members of the Enterobacteriaceae Family

The spread of carbapenem-resistant members of the Enterobacteriaceae family (CRE) harboring carbapenemases is an emerging public health threat. As KPC-producing Klebsiella species are endemic in our tertiary care hospital, we aimed to evaluate a PCR-based surveillance test for identification of rect...
