Abstract: Objective To investigate the epidemiological features of carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae in a collection of clinical Enterobacteriaceae strains isolated during 2011-2014 from our hospital. Methods The Enterobacteriaceae strains were collected and CRE strains were screened by their resistance to carbapenems. Clinical information was analyzed to characterize the epidemiological traits of CRE strains. Results The total number of CRE isolates was 187. These CRE strains were isolated from various clinical specimens, including urine(32.6%), sputum (28.9%), blood (10.7%), and so on. These strains were frequently isolated from intensive care units (ICU) (39.0%) and department of Urology (23.0%). The most frequently isolated species were Klebsiella pneumoniae (39.6%), Escherichia coli (20.9%). The isolation rate is much higher in elderly patients more than 50 years old (74.4%). The percentage of CRE isolates were kept on increasing by years. Conclusion The prevalence carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae in our hospital is increasing every year and it is important to prevent and control the transmission and outbreaks of CRE in the hospital by proper use of related antibiotics in clinical treatment.
