Is mandatory surveillance of carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative organisms working? A surveillance evaluation, England, 2020–2023
Reported CPO incidence is increasing, and CPO surveillance is perceived as efficient, valuable and acceptable. However, despite being mandatory, laboratory reporting is still not comprehensive. We recommend investing in improvements to the existing surveillance system, ensuring that all laboratories have capacity to report and optimise processes.
