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:
- List the most common mechanisms of carbapenem resistance in the U.S..
- Describe the geographic distribution of the carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in the United States
- Discuss laboratory detection of Enterobacteriaceae that produce carbapenemases
Audience: This basic-level webinar is of interest to public health laboratorians.
