epidemiology of CRE is needed to inform national prevention efforts. Objective To determine
the population-based CRE incidence and describe the characteristics and resistance
mechanism associated with isolates from 7 US geographical areas. Design, Setting, and
Participants Population-and laboratory-based active surveillance of CRE conducted among …
