Carbapenems are a group of antibiotics that are usually reserved to treat serious infections, particularly when these infections are caused by germs that are highly resistant to antibiotics. Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) is an emerging threat to public health.  This webinar will discuss ways to prevent the spread of CRE in nursing homes.

Audience

  • Review the importance of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE).
  • Describe the strategies outlined in the CDC’s CRE Tool-Kit to detect and prevent CRE.
