TL;DR: Criteria must be established for which isolates should be suspected and screened for carbapenemase production, and for which tests (phenotypic and/or genotypic) should be adopted for confirmation of the resistance mechanism, and strategies should be devised for surveillance of carbapanemase producers in order to enable the implementation of effective surveillance programmes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbapenem-non-susceptible Enterobacteriaceae in Europe: Conclusions from a meeting of national experts
Hajo Grundmann,David M. Livermore,Christian G. Giske,Rafael Cantón,Gian Maria Rossolini,José Campos,Alkiviadis Vatopoulos,Marek Gniadkowski,Akos Toth,Yvonne Pfeifer,Vincent Jarlier,Yehuda Carmeli +11 more
TL;DR: A consultation of experts from 31 countries set out to identify the gaps in diagnostic and response capacity, to index the magnitude of carbapenem-non-susceptibility across Europe using a novel five-level staging system, and to provide elements of a strategy to combat this public health issue in a concerted manner.
