Abstract
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infections are increasing and are associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. Members of the Emerging Infections Network treating CRE encountered difficulties in obtaining laboratory results and struggled with limited treatment options. In addition, many treated patients experienced an alarming degree of drug toxicity from CRE therapies.
