Risk of infection following colonization with carbapenem-resistant Enterobactericeae: a systematic review.
The authors examined the risk of developing infection among those colonized with carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae (CRE). They found an overall 16.5% risk of infection with CRE, with the most common site of infection being the lung. They concluded that, given the high mortality rate observed with CRE infection and the difficulty in treating these infections, research to investigate and develop strategies to eliminate the colonization state are needed.
