Surveillance and Detection of Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae

Course Description

Course Title: Surveillance and Detection of Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae

Course Description:This webinar will present an overview of carbapenem resistance mechanisms and the geographic distribution of the carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriacae in the United States. Laboratory methods used to detect carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae will also be discussed.

Objectives: At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to:

  1. List the most common mechanisms of carbapenem resistance in the U.S..
  2. Describe the geographic distribution of the carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in the United States
  3. Discuss laboratory detection of Enterobacteriaceae that produce carbapenemases


Audience: This basic-level webinar is of interest to public health laboratorians.
