A case report of a pulmonary abscess
The prevalence of Carbapenem resistant enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infections has increased over the last decade, especially in healthcare settings. Management of infections due to CRE is complicated by a lack of effective treatment options and clinical data on their effectiveness. We describe a case o...
