CRE

Carbapenemase-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. A plasmid transferrable beta-lactamase (enzyme) carried by an increasing number of strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae as well as other Enterobacteriaceae. Hydrolysis of the beta-lactam ring renders many of the antibiotics ineffective—in particular extended spectrum cephalosporins and carbapenems: imipenem, meropenem, and ertapenem.
