    摘要、提要註: The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence rate of carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriace (CRE) at Jamaica Hospital. Muitidrug resistance and, in particular, carbapenem-resistance in various Entereobacteriaceae is quickly spreading not both in the United States and worldwide. The need to stop the spread and the development of new antibiotics to treat the existing resistance is eminent. The scientific community, the government, the infectious disease community as well as the research community should come into one to stop this catastrophic spread of carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE). The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of carbapenem resistant Enterabacteriace at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center. A retrospective analysis of more than 4,000 susceptibility results from the electronic medical records (EMR) from February 1, 2013 to May 31, 2014 was conducted. The sample included both inpatient and outpatient samples. In addition to organism resistance, various patient data was collected in order to describe persons more likely to contract infection due to CRE, including diagnosis, underlying medical conditions, location at time of infection, length of stay, and site of culture. The prevalence rate of CRE at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center during the specified time range was 0.8% for imipenem, 0.4% for ertapenem, 0.5% for meropenem and 0.5% for doripenem. The organisms identified were klebsiella pneumoniae (42%), Proteus mirabilis (22%), Escherichia coli (17%), Enterobacter cloacae (12%) and Klebsiella oxytoca (7%). Sources of infection included sputum's, catheterized urines, random urines, intra-abdominal wounds, skin biopsies, sterile body fluids, aerobic and anaerobic blood cultures, central line catheters and cerebrospinal fluids. The prevalence rates found in our hospital were very low compared to the published average of 4.2%, established in 2011 in the New York City area.
