Risk factors and molecular epidemiology of colonizing carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales in pediatric inpatient in Shenzhen, China
This study once again shows that pediatric inpatients in South China were colonized by a diversity of CRE strains, increasing the likelihood of difficult-to-treat infections. Hospitals and competent authorities should take appropriate public health measures, to prevent the further spread of CRE.
