Present and Future Perspectives on Therapeutic Options for Carbapenemase-Producing <i>Enterobacterales </i>Infections

Carbapenem-resistant <i>Enterobacterales </i>(CRE) are included in the list of the most threatening antibiotic resistance microorganisms, being responsible for often insurmountable therapeutic issues, especially in hospitalized patients and immunocompromised individuals and patients in i...

The enzymatic resistance to carbapenems is encoded by different β-lactamases belonging to A, B or D Ambler class.
