| Popis: | The prevalence of Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae infection in a hospital setting is on the rise. Once infected, it is associated with increased morbidity as well as mortality. The common isolates of a Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae infection is Klebsiella pneumoniae. In this case report, we discussed on a patient who is a Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae carrier that underwent an open heart surgery in a government hospital in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. On the whole, our objectives were to identify risk factors that warrants a patient to be screened for Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae infection and once a Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae infected patient is detected, what are the measures that can be implemented to prevent and control spread of infection particularly in the intensive care unit setting. |
