Thirty-Day Mortality Associated With Carbapenemase-Producing <i>Enterobacterales</i> Bloodstream Infections at a Referral Hospital in Peru, 2020–2023
CPE BSIs were independently associated with increased 30-day mortality, with KPC-producing <i>K pneumoniae</i> posing the greatest risk. Despite the predominance of New Delhi Metallo-β-Lactamase (NDM) in our setting, these findings emphasize the clinical severity associated with different carbapenemase types, and the need to tailor interventions accordingly. Strengthening molecular surveillance and ensuring timely access to effective therapies remain critical priorities in NDM-endemic regions, such as Peru.
