| Clinical Info |
This is a screening test for the presence of CRE (Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacterales) organisms Klebsiella pneumoniae and E.coli from rectal swabs. This test is intended only as a surveillance culture for infection control purposes. CRE organisms pose challenge for infection control in health-care facilities and also for treatment of infections. CRE organisms are associated with resistance to all Carbapenem class of antibiotics such as Ertapenem, Imipenem and Meropenem. |
